general conference : open letter
ken carter has a very well said open letter to general conference. there is much about it am behind as we try and engage in holy conferencing.
In Fort Worth we will accomplish
important business. We will affirm our core mission-to make disciples,
for the transformation of the world. And yet one of the most profound
ways we will do this is by the way we live with one another, and by the
way we love one another.
i turned the letter into a pdf to download if you like conference2008openletter.pdf.
in more highthearted general conference news, stephen taylor has prognostications.
virtual church planters : conversation of friends
had a random meet up with revmom & rabbit john in our ‘second life.‘ it was some really great conversation time. we are continuing these talks of doing a virtual church plant. i made a visit over to lifechurc.tv’s church plant in second life. even in cyberspace, it is a seeker sensitive looking space.
it was nice to pray for my friends and be prayed for. that was encouraging. so interesting is this connection.
i zipped over to my basecamp the koinonia church. there i found some other folks checking out a brian mclaren video. but real world calls, i’m off to do those things. i only wish i could fly in first world, it would be sooo much cooler!
if you are there and want to catch up with me when i am actually on i am "gavin tellig."
new podcast : youth worker movement episode 4
after a long hiatus of wondering. i’ve released episode four of the youthworker movement podcast. this was one that we cut back in november while mike and i were at nywc. this one covers some budget talk and other ideas.
i will be releasing some of the interview podcasts from that convention in the coming days. i will also be hanging out with some musicians for gma week next week. apparently the idea is to have some podcasts come from those hang-outs, so you want to check back into these things.
