Listen Up Friends...Road trip possibility
So I've discovered this conference taking place in Ontario, Canada (Eh) on March 24, 2007. The three speakers are all favorite thinkers of mine (Jim Wallis, Shane Claiborne, and Ron Sider). It's a one day deal, but we could make it more. The title is "The Evolving Church, Restoring Justice." What I REALLY like about it is it's put on by four friends who have had their lives transformed by the Gospel of Christ and are actively living it out in everyday ways (loving on people relentlessly, living in community, etc.) They wanted a way to share things they were learning with other people (so in other words, this isn't Willow...it's grass roots.) Click here for the site (it's actually really good.) Let's road trip up...I don't know how many people read this thing (if any), but I'm calling you all out. God is doing something in our community, and I'd love to interact with others who are being stirred in this way and get a shot of encouragement. Plus, road trips are very fun. I've emailed the guys to get more info..I'll pass it along when I get it. Consider it...the dumpster diving request was soundly ignored (except by Christine. Thanks!). I hope this isn't.
Peace.
Peace.

I'm a dork, sorry, I gues I clicked three times. Hey I just checked the website, and it's in Oakville, which is maybe, 40 minutes outside of Toronto, so we could easily find places to put anyone who wants to go in homes. This could be just the connection I've been waiting for between people here and Toronto people starving for some God. Cool. top

I have never been to Canada, and this looks like as good an excuse to go as any.
YES. top

Demian says Oakville is like 30 minutes outside Toronto, and he wants to go too. He's a claiborne groupy, and we love Toronto. You could see the Demian animal in his natural habitat. Yay! let's do it. top

You must go if only to enjoy the fact that instead of merge signs (for highway on-ramps), the great country of Canada has "Squeeze" signs. I don't know about you, but I would much rather squeeze than merge. BTW, very good pic of you on the main page! top
