About the Author

Growing up at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church fostered a meaningful personal relationship with Christ, but it was only when I went to Fuller seminary that I began to understand what being Presbyterian meant. For my Fuller years I was active at a small multi-ethnic Presbyterian church that was going through a process of Appreciative Inquiry. In the fall of '06 I was ordained to working in campus ministry and my first book was published. When I came across Emergent four years ago I was overjoyed to connect with other people asking similar questions, and keep returning to Emergent for more conversations. That’s some of presbymergent me – thank you for asking.

Soularize: the original/catalytic emerging gathering

Thursday, August 9th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

An Emergent friend, Spencer Burke, wants everyone in the presbymergent network to consider attending a learning party he’s hosting in the Bahamas, less than 90 days from now.

If you are planning on being there, please leave a comment so that presbymergents can locate each other while meeting on tropical beaches, umm, I mean, conference meeting rooms. - Karen

Here is more information from Spencer:

A Learning Party - October 25-27, 2007

What makes Soularize unique is the learning environment. We create a casual, safe and interactive place where you can wrestle with issues your church and faith are facing today. You’ll engage in a wide variety of learning experiences like facilitated groups of less than 50 people, hands-on learning experiences, main sessions with keynote speakers, and workshops. Open times in the schedule offer chances for you to reflect and refresh in a hammock overlooking the Caribbean.

Regular (today) - $249
Late (after Sept 1) - $299

Knowing that all have limited budgets to invest in annual learning opportunities, we hope you take opportunity to compare the Soularize learning experience with a few of the other national learning opportunities happening this coming year. Perhaps you’ll be as surprised that an event in the Bahamas is actually cheaper than attending an event in San Diego (see comparison chart http://www.soularize.net/compare-conferences.php) . So if you’re looking for a more progressive, independent, and cost-effective learning experience in a tropical setting, perhaps you should consider joining us for the Soularize learning experience.

    Can;t make it, but wanted to say, what a great line-up of people. NT Wright and Rita Nakashima Brock, not that should be interesting.
