kickoff tomorrow
Tomorrow I lecture for two days at the (first ever BCNZ) emerging church block course. 26 students are enrolled, including 2 from Hamilton and 1 from Nelson. It will not be a content based course as much as an interactive mix of storytelling, video, group work, online experience, stations, food and tactile spiritual resources.
Hopefully amid that mix students will reflect on contemporary ways of being church. It is not just a “description” course but together we will be asking
What in the culture is producing the emerging church?
What Christian resources sustain and critique the emerging church?
What does this mean for our following of Jesus tomorrow?
It is always madly stressful working toward a speaking deadline. Even more so when it is 10 hours of lecturing in 2 days, and I also had to lecture today. I still have the visuals to set up and the videos to cue, but I am greatly relieved to hear the lecture notes currently being bound.

Good luck with that, i’m gutted that i can’t come but i have enough to do.
Thanks for the Being Kiwi, being Christian course i got heaps out of it. And i’m not just saying that.

Hope it goes well. Will you post any of your material here? not that I’m Kiwi, but I’d be interested to read what path you take.
