Eight Strong

Tuesday, January 09, 2007

It was really great to have eight(!) people out at The Rhino last night. Sometimes it's just good to get together and chat about the Kingdom. I know that I sure benefitted a lot from the discussion, the resources pointed out, and just hearing each others' stories of where they've come from and where they think they might be headed.

Church Planting. Intentional Community. Moving Across the World.

We're in all different situations, and yet I find it great to come together and talk about all of these things together, to share our hopes and dreams, and to encourage each other in pursuing those things that God has given us to do.

I suggest that our group, and this yahoogroup are good places to throw out ideas, bounce them off of others, and to be held accountable for those projects that we say we want to follow up on, especially when talking about developing new forms of church.

Naomi pointed out a thought-provoking resource (www.dyingchurch.com), and there was brief mention of the Evolving Church Conference featuring Ron Sider (Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger), Shane Claiborne (Irresistable Revolution), and Jim Wallis (God's Politics: Why the Right Gets it Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It). Should be a good lineup full of challenge and insight.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear more from you, about what's going on, and would love to pray for those things...so let me know what's going on.

See you in a month!

Did you realize that The Rhino is in the building that was the first Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Canada? Interesting. I heard that you guys were moving to Ottawa. Definetly our loss!
