where to find presbymergent in person during Fall 2007

For all those who participated in a presbymergent party this summer, it was great to meet you and hear your stories. Given all the presbymergent interest at this summer’s events, there is more planned for this coming year. Fun!

As we enter into fall, the events page has been updated with details on forthcoming presbymergent-related happening. Currently there are five events that include presbymergent parties, and a 100% presbymergent event. Links to more information about these events is here and below:

Emergent Gathering in Glorieta, NM
October 2, Tuesday, to October 5, Friday

Always Reforming – Emergence in the Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, PA
October 12, Friday, to October 13, Friday
(If you’re deciding between this conference and another one, this is the one to choose.)

Off the Map Live – Hear, Listen, Connect in Seattle, WA
November 1, Thursday, to November 3, Saturday

An Emergent Mainline Dialogue in Spokane, WA
November 9, Friday, to November 10, Saturday

Association of Presbyterian Mission Pastors in Louisville, KY
November 28, Wednesday, to November 30, Friday

Conversations with Phyllis Tickle in Lakewood, NY
December 1, Saturday, to December 2, Sunday

A new element growing from in person events will be recording interviews and other material for a presbymergent podcast, which will begin later this fall. More details to follow later.

Hope to see you soon!

About Karen Sloan
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.

    Karen, I beg to differ with you…if anyone is deciding between one conference and another, Off The Map Live is the one to go to! :-)

    I would love to go to all of them. Is there scholarships available? It would be great if every PC(USA) seminary could host regional events.
