Emerging Church Conference


This week I had a good few days away at "Mission 21" a conference about "Emerging Church" and church planting. Lots of inspiration and ideas. I could do with another week to sift through my thoughts! Worship from Roy Searle and Northumbria Community - with lots of liturgy! Teaching from Gerald Coates, Graham Cray, Martin Robinson, Sandy Millar etc. Not bad for 3 days!

Good to meet up with our blog contributor "Phil" - his real name! - from Durham. He'll be with us on 7th April.

Good to hear so many stories of "emergent" congregations around the country, and the encouragement that many of them are small like us, not quite sure where they're going like us and experimental like us.

Good to hear Cameron Roxbourough's warnings about some of the dangers too - more on that another time.
