Follow @presbymergent Next Week

As Jan Edmiston mentioned in her post, Connecting Face to Face, the Presbymergent Coordinating Group is meeting in Louisville this upcoming week, February 17-19. We have almost the entire Coordinating Group coming out for the gathering, and we’re all very excited. We’re going to be having some really important conversations and I’m sure you’ll be hearing a lot more from the Coordinating Group members after our gathering. Be sure and check the blog during the next week or two. If you haven’t already, you can subscribe to the site’s RSS feed by clicking here or choosing the RSS Tab on the right sidebar.

Connecting Face to Face

Heidi Campbell teaches at Texas A&M and has a new book coming out: When Religion Meets New Media (Routledge.) She was the keynoter at an interesting event last year sponsored by Alban on Church 2.0 and I especially remember something she said about social networking communities: People who connect on Facebook, Twitter, Second Life, etc. have the need to meet face to face eventually. Second Lifers now have conventions that rival anything Star Trek ever inspired.

Next week, several of us are meeting in Louisville to lay eyes on each other for the first time – or at least it will be the first time for many. Most of us will be part of the Presbymergent Coordinating Team. I am hopeful and prayerfully pumped to gather and look at the future of the church from a Presbymergent perspective. And I’d ask for your prayers as we gather.

It’s a great time to be a loyal radical.
