Looking forward to the 16th of October with Tony Jones. Don't know exactly what you have a mind for the 7:30pm conversation on postmodern ministry, but have you touched base with Nicole about him coming out. Thanks for the info.

Bob-sounds fascinating! Very little of this kind of interest happens here in the Rockies. I would be interested in how he in general approaces the role of relevance versus doctrine (or if the two are not to be pitted against each other).
ReplyDeleteBob -
ReplyDeleteSarah Landini is a good friend of mine, and passed the info on regarding Tony Jones being @ Open Door in October. My husband and I are both very involved with the emergent church movement, including being a part of Three
Nails (a decidly post-modern church plant!) We're happy to help out, support, promot, etc. as I know a good number of CCO staff and live just up the street from BJ.
Peace,

ReplyDeleteI'm over in Warren, OH working as an emerging pastor in a traditional setting at the First Baptist Church of Warren.
Is this event open to non-Campus Ministry folks?
Whatever the case, I'm just up the road... I'd like to meet you and other emerging types in the NE Ohio area if possible. E-mail me at mmthomas at fbcwarren dot com if you're interested.

Matt,
ReplyDeleteYes, this is open to both "emerging college campus ministers" as well as "emerging church leaders."
Come one, come all.
Bob I have had at least 10 other Pittsburgh folks say they are coming. If you or others who read this comment are planning to come to the OD gathering as well shoot me an email bj@pghopendoor.org so we can throw up some extra seats!
ReplyDeleteShalom!
Tony is stoked to be in the burgh!
Hey Bob,
ReplyDeleteWanted to let you know that there will be 4-5 folks coming up for the Open Door extravaganza next week. Looking forward to it and seeing you there!
