“Always Reforming: Emergence in the Presbyterian Church”

Thursday, September 27th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

Last April, in a string of comments on Presbymergent, some other people and I brainstormed the possibility of a special gathering for “Presbymergents” at Pittsburgh Seminary.  In just three weeks, that idea will come to fruition as . . .

Always Reforming: Emergence in the Presbyterian Church

October 12th & 13th, 2007, featuring John Franke, Karen Sloan, Adam Walker Cleaveland, Brian Wallace, BJ Woodworth, Andrew Purves, Scott Sunquist and a whole host of other amazing pastors, leaders, teachers, and students. This is a big event for Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (where I am a student), but also for Emergent Pittsburgh, and the local churches which will be participating, such as The Open Door.  If you’re in the area, please consider coming - it’s going to be a great weekend!

For more information, just check out Emergent Pittsburgh.

    Amazing! This is great. An actual event with young clergy speaking. I’m thrilled about this. I wish I could be there.

    Friends, sadly I will miss the Presbymergent Gathering in Pittsburgh! I had a wedding scheduling debacle and the wedding trumps the gathering.

    I let Chris and Brian know about it a couple of weeks ago, and have been trying to find someone else to represent Wicker Park Grace. Unfortunately, no one has accepted the fabulous opportunity, and Wicker Park Grace will be unrepresented at the Pittsburgh event.

    I will be with you in spirit! I’m so sad to miss being with you all. I was hungry for the community wisdom that I am sure will come out of the gathering.

    blessings and peace,
    Nanette
