Tom Sine
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH FOR TOM
SINE Ph.D.
Tom Sine has many gifts including the gift of disorientation. When
he travels without Christine he often winds up in places he never
planned to go. But we all enjoy the stories that come from these
unplanned ventures.
He and Christine live with a growing community of friends in the
Mustard Seed House in Seattle. They grow 50% of
their vegetables on an urban lot and specialize in hospitality for
the creative and disaffected.
Tom and Christine love to go on hikes with their golden retriever
Bonnie. One of Tom’s favorite things is to cook large quantities of
food from different countries for friends and strangers from the UK
to OZ…most have survived.
If you meet Tom it will become apparent that he has been hanging
around for awhile. He has, over many years, worked as a social
worker, educator and headed up a community development project in
Haiti for World Concern. These days he spends a lot of time trying
to learn what God is doing through a new generation of innovators.
That is what led him to write The New Conspirators.
Tom also currently teaches as an adjunct at Fuller Theological
Seminary in Seattle, and is on our small team at Mustard Seed
Associates. It seems as though he is always working on a book. His
previous book was Mustard Seed Vs McWorld. He and Christine wrote
Living on Purpose three months before the Purpose Driven Life but
they haven’t been troubled by 22 million sales…yet.
Tom and Christine try to help everyone from college students to
mission executives get ready to serve God in our rapidly changing
new global neighborhood. The way they do this is by enabling people
to both identify some of the new challenges rushing at us from the
future and imagine new ways to respond to these challenges.
In fact they conduct a workshop called Imagine That to enable
followers of Jesus to create imaginative new ways to not only
address the new global challenges but also advance something of
God’s new order in uncertain times.
Tom is not only intrigued by what God is doing through a new
generation of conspirators but is determined to influence us all to
join them… creating the future one mustard seed at a time. Read
this book at your own risk. He might just persuade you to join this
quiet conspiracy.
