The
New Conspirators: What in the World is God Doing?
God
is conspiring through a new generation to re-imagine and create new expressions
of discipleship, community, church and mission and to make a difference in our
rapidly changing world. At this festival of imagination, we will bring together
leaders from the emerging, missional, mosaic and monastic streams of renewal to
explore new models, discuss tough questions and create ways to be a difference
and make a difference in our churches, communities and God’s world. As far as
we know, this is the first time that such a broad range of new conspirators
have come together to communicate, connect and create with one another.
Join
Shane Claiborne, author of The
Irresistible Revolution, Karen Ward of Church of the Apostles, Efrem Smith,
co-author of The Hip Hop Church, Dwight Friesen from Mars Hill Graduate School, Julie
Clawson, an emerging church planter, Mark Scandrette, author of Soul Graffiti, Christine Sine, author of
Godspace, Tom Sine, author of The New Conspirators, and others for
this festival of imagination.
We
are racing into an increasingly uncertain global future in which the middle
class, our poorest neighbors and our planet will face daunting new challenges. In
this festival of imagination, we will invite you to create innovative ways to
engage these challenges in a way that reflects something of God’s new order.
We have three very
clear goals for this festival of imagination:
1.
to communicate
creative models of what new conspirators are doing to address these challenges;
2.
to connect
leaders from all four streams in order to share lives, stories and concerns;
3.
to create new
ways to advance God’s new order in our world, in our lives and in our churches,
in response to the growing challenges facing the poor and the planet.
This event is
