just got back from emergence! at TLU. good for the soul.
t.j. and chris and tim and i were there from the cohort, and i think we may have added a few to our SA menagerie as well: expect the cohort to include a share of seguin lutherans as well :)
nate frambach and karen ward are wonderful people with wonderful stories of emergence.
as with all institutional gatherings of like-minded people, it's not the "bricked-in" time — the scheduled program — but rather the unscheduled "mortar" in between — that really sticks: shuttle van conversations. breakfast conversations. guest housing conversations.
after the conference, we chilled at chiro-java (not "cairo" or "chi-rho", but chiro, as in "yup: a chiropractor's office is here in this coffee house"). we got to look upstairs at a dusty former masonic lodge that may be a potential long-term site for the intermission community.
if you were at emergence! and want to leave a shoutout, please comment here:
hey paul, it was indeed a blast...got real exciting when tim almost killed that gal with a flying pen, wild stuff. i hope the rlp gordon checks out the cohort sometime. the lead learners were thoughtful and cordial. aaron's cd was a great grab . did you put up a link for him, his site is suvae. take care paul and all. christopher
