The Common Root 09: creating our future in the shadow of Empire
At the Common Root 2009, we'll explore ways of creatively embracing the in-breaking Kingdom of God in the shadow of Empire. We want to foster creative resistance as we seek community practices that bring shalom to a broken world.
Main presenters include:
- Greg Boyd (author of Myth of a Christian Nation, respected theologian, pastor at Woodland Hills)
- Tom and Christine Sine (Tom and Christine are directors of the Mustard Seed Associates and internationally respected speakers on spirituality, community, and grassroots church movements)
- Carol Rose (Carol is a pastor, poet, and the co-director of the Christian Peacemaker Teams)
- Jin Kim (Pastor Jin is the pastor of the Church of All Nations, a multi-ethnic church in the Twin Cities)
...Plus workshops on New Monasticism, the Catholic Worker Movement, Sustainable Living, urban church planting, community-based peacemaking, communal spirituality, and much more...
We're offering a special planter's track for those interested in starting new communities: Jeff Wright (president of Shalom Ministries: www.urban-anabaptist.org/sm/staff.php) will be leading a special track for those interested in forming new urban communities. This track will be running during workshop times, and those who sign up for the planter's track will have limited options for attending other tracks. This intensive is for those interested in being a part of the Common Root Planting Initiative.
Those who wish to sign up for the planter's track are encouraged to come to the conference early for a special luncheon, and will be asked to attend a concluding session on Saturday night, after the main gathering is over. The main session on Saturday night with be facilitated by Mark Van Steenwyk, coordinator of the Common Root Planting Initiative.
Registration is by donation (though if money isn't an issue, a $50 minimum is suggested).
