Thoughts on Emergent Gatherings

It’s apparently grown too organized, too structured, too different than what it once was. Given those changes the organizers are shutting it down to make room for […]

Emergent Gathering Reflections

That’s where I was all last week - at the Lifeway Glorieta Conference Center situated in the mountains outside of Santa Fe. As strange as it is to attend an Emergent event at a Southern Baptist camp, it does make for a stunning setting. Emma enjoying pointing out the “real mountains” (a […]

The Conference (briefly) and The Book (no spoilers yet)

I am exhausted.
We had a great time at the Midwest Emergent Gathering. At least from a planners perspective everything went smoothly. Since I didn’t participate as an attendee, it is hard to say what the feel and effect of the conference was to those really experiencing it. But I had a good […]

Sorry for the silence…

We launch the first ever Midwest Emergent Gathering tomorrow. I’ve been crazy busy getting ready for it. I’m looking forward to it, it should be a great time, but I’m also nervous and stressed out… So that’s all to say sorry for the dead blog time the last few days and to […]

Emergent Gathering

So what to say about the Emergent Gathering…
For starters – the Glorieta Conference Center is a fantastic place. It’s nestled in the mountains outside of Santa Fe – so one is surrounded by spectacular views, dense forests, and (this year at least) beautiful wildflowers. A beautiful place to be part of a conversation.
