Lacey is going to talk about blogging and Baha’i. [Abstract]

The middle ground between the individual and the ecollective relies on the same eneregy, as evidenced by the similarities between the Chicago weblogging community and the Baha’i youth organization. No East is a magazine and Fertile Field is a blog. Lacey has noticed similarities.

No East is a ‘zine by the Chicago area weblogging community for creative people. Each issue has a theme (e.g., “the streets of Chicago”). So does Fertile Field, although its themes are related to Baha’i. Fertile Field is written by youths while No East is written mainly be people in their twenties.

Both weblogs and the Baha’i faith have provided a medium by which communities can form. (Lacey is careful to say that religion and blogging are not exactly equivalents.)
