Emerging Church Conference, Seattle 17th April
Pleased to say, that the COTA community hosted an emerging church conference yesterday, supported by Si, Gareth & myself. It was a great day. Much discussion and exploration. Gareth & Si talked of emerging church and justice, I and Karen talked about Emerging Church & leadership & models of church. Dwight Friesen from another local emerging church led a discussion on Emerging Church & Theology. COTA led worship at different points in the day, all in all, it went well.
Gareth & I have learnt a lot from being here, we are off home today, and will miss loads of the discussions, dreams and hopes – and the practical experience of running a sucessful cafe church. For more info on the conference see Si’s blog, Dwight’s blog, and Dave Paisley’s blog.
Si is staying on for a couple of days, there is a story there but he can tell you that!!
I come home reinvigorated that cafe church models are such a great way of doing incarnational mission, alternative worship and engagement in the arts. So a big thanks to COTA.
