The Conference on Christianity and Consumerism : Looking Very Good

Hey everyone, for those of you who don’t know about this already, Mark Van Steenwyk of Missio Dei church in Minneapolis, together with other sponsoring institutions, has put together a simply great conference entitled Conference on Christianity in a Consumer Culture. In addition to having Ron Sider, Sondra Wheeler, Rodney Clapp and Vincent Miller come as main speakers. Ryan Torma from Spirit Garage, Kevin Rains from Vineyard Central and myself will be leading some breakout sessions. I’m looking forward to an outstanding few days of talking, sipping coffee, meeting alot of people, challenge, ideas and a great blessing in the Twin Cities, April 28,29. If you care to join us, follow the link and register. And if you need a ride up from Chicago, let’s connect.
