All Registered

WooHoo! I am officially registered for the Episcopal Village Mission Event - East; Brian McLaren is one of the keynote speakers. I have been following the Emergent movement and am intrigued by how it could move within the Episcopal Church, especially the role Vocational Deacons could play. This is an exciting time!

"The gospel is for us a beckoning, a summons, always associated with transitive words like "leave," "come," "go," "follow."" (Brian McLaren, A New Kind of Christianity, pg 28)

"We pray that God will create something new and beautiful in and among us for the good of all creation and to the glory of the living God." (Brian McLaren, A New Kind of Christianity, pg 29)

"Our faith is vain and self-centered if it only brings blessing for us or to us. It also must result in blessing that flows through us to the world." (Brian McLaren, A New Kind of Christianity, pg 29)

I am very excited indeed!
