Transforming Missional Annual Network Gathering
We’re crafting this special weekend to bring together pastors and activists, artists and theologians to work through the challenges we are facing and emerge together with solutions, training, and inspiration.
- What does the world need the missional church to be?
- Missional/Emergent Church + Contemplative Practice + Activism = #Trans4m14
- Deconstructing church & empire with theologian Joerg Reiger
- Is the legacy of oppression in our Christian heritage still preserved in ourselves & our institutions? How are we still steeped in Empire and colonization?
- Healing spiritual wounds & connecting our struggles toward liberation & social transformation
- Action opportunity serving unhomed youth with local Urban Street Angels ministry
- Community and personal reflection opportunities & discernment through contemplation and prayer
- How do we foster the building of bridges between faith communities and broader movements?
