Over the last few months we’ve discussed the possibility of working together to host a mission shaped learning environment with a hope of provoking further missional engagement in our region and beyond. Here you will find an outline that has been put together by our friend Rob Fairbanks and that will be fleshed out in Portland in March and April. As you read over the outline please consider whether or not this is something that you would support and if it’s something that would be doable this spring. Leave questions, etc. in the comments section.
Looks like a program I would support, although I look forward to the fleshed out proposal. I like your focus on Kingdom and social justice issues, and a needed reflection on ecclesial expression. In the vein of Newbigin and Bosch, perhaps something on cultural reflection addressing issues of syncretism, contextualizing the gospel, issues of consumerism, pluralism, Empire, poverty, global issues, violence, etc & etc. Might have something along Jer. 29:7 while in exile “seek the peace of the city”. Sorry to be so wordy–excited about the possibilities.
