From [Emergent Kiwi](http://www.emergentkiwi.org.nz/archives/hacking%5Fthe%5Femerging%5Fchurch.php?ref=dashhouse.com):

> Church is a space and a resource to hack…A hack does not intend to destroy or alter data. Thus a hack respects the riches of the past. But a hack recognises that church is not monolithic. Rather church is a contextual response of a group of people, uniquely working with the strands of Scripture and culture and tradition in their context. Thus a hack takes the rich strands of past data, and seeks to re-work them to maximize to a highest possible level.
