what a full day. No time to 'splain: let me sum up.
- breakfast at hampton inn south. ride to WALP with padgitt and will samson; got to overhear their stimulating conversation about venture capital versus philanthropic capital and that the latter model might be the best-suited for EC funding rounds for project-based works. cool stuff. nicely over my head since it deals with the business world, that magical realm into which i cannot enter.
- brian mclaren talked on worship as spiritual formation, and listed ten practices of public worship: Ritual, Inconvenience, Association, Speed, Hospitality, Attentiveness, Generosity, Modeling, Justice & Mercy, Catholicity.
- Tribe led worship.
- Saw Michael Howes give an engaging and well-paced discussion on excercising creative patience when attempting to affect worship change in a church you didn't plant.
- ate lunch by myself and fell into AllergyLand™ whereupon I needed large amounts of Claritin® and Advil® washed down by A&W® Vanilla Cream Soda™.
- Watched Lily Lewin bring us up to speed on Celtic Spirituality. Dispelled some myths, Broadened our scope and appreciation, and through it got to know Lily better.
- Saw Kevin Rolly self-curate his Stations of the Cross and then did a one-man performance/painting where he revealed a 15th 'station' - the resurrection.
- had a great conversation and laughs with Michael Crawford, Tim Samoff Will S, Laci, and some other new friends, Troy and Mike talked music. Will and Mike and I discussed the phenomenon of our wives not always being on the same page within the conversation. And how difficult that can be on a marriage.
- We got turned around on the ride back into Willmore
- ALmost missed part of Maggi Dawn. But didn't caught it all.
- tried to set up a Cohort breakfast tonorrow morning early with Geoff H. But my chances of getting a ride that early are slim. I might hang around in the lobby in the AM and see if anyone's heading that way.
- the laptop isn't being nice, and i'm tired, so i''ll post more p=hotos tomorrow. - paul
Great meeting you, Paul! Here's to more events like that one in the future!
Peace, bro.
