YES I did just use the words “cool” and “Baptist” together. I’m declaring the reign of that oxymoron to be over because progressive, thoughtful, and imaginative Baptists are organizing some amazing things in the coming year.
The Alliance of Baptists are holding their annual Convocation in Charlotte, NC @ Park Road Baptist Church, April 17-19, 2009.
Diana Butler Bass will be a featured speaker and conversation leader. They will be introducing some new initiatives that weave together an imaginative approach to the future with a legacy of courage, activism, and openness. They are poised to do great things. You will want to check this out. You can download a brochure here: 2009_alliance_convocation_brochure
The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship is having its young leaders (Current) gathering February 23-25, 2009 @ College Park Baptist
Church in Orlando, Florida. Brian McLaren will be a featured speaker and conversation leader. This is great opportunity for this new generation of Baptist ministers to network and dream together with excellent facilitators and spiritual directors.
Stretching beyond just Baptists, but including them none-the-less, the Center for Action & Contemplation is organizing a gathering on the emerging church March 20-22 in Albuquerque, NM. Brian McLaren, Phyllis Tickle, Richard Rohr, Alexie Torres-Fleming and Shane Claiborne will be on hand for conversation. You can register here. I’ll be doing a full post on this one because Baptimergent has been invited to host a table and I will want some help on that from any of you who are interested. Stay tuned!
We’ve had a group on Facebook now for over a month. Before that, many of us were finding one another by accident at Emergent gatherings, cohort groups, or official Baptist gatherings.
The goal with this blog is to expand our network of friends to those who have not yet forayed into the social network called Facebook. Plus this gives us another creative outlet for conversation.
I’ll being playing around with set-up for the next week. After that, we’ll start working on site content. We’ll be contacting folks to write posts, record podcasts, and the like soon enough. Until then, let us know what you think of the look here. What widgets are useful or are not here that we should have? What themes or categories should we explore? What are some good blogs that we should list in our blogroll?
Feel free to leave a comment here about your suggestions for the site.
