Last Call for the AEF Call Conference

I shall be posting more in the coming days on “Contrary Thoughts on Being Incarnational.”
Before I do, are any Chicago Area emerging/missional people out there interested in coming to the Ancient-Evangelical Future Conference? I posted earlier on the subject “Does Brian McLaren Need Bob Webber?” Brian will be speaking Thursday night Dec 7th on the title “Does the Emerging Church Have an Ancient Future?” at 7 p.m. at Northern. Lauren Winner will be speaking on Dec 9th Saturday morning 9 a.m. on the subject of our Hebrew heritage, postmodernity, narrative and doing theology and church in our times. This is all at Northern Seminary. There will be breakout sessions, panel discussions, and alot of interaction. If there are any interested in coming, I know its quite expensive. But I have been able to get a deal for any emerging/missional types interested in coming to just these two presentations and surrounding events for 50 bucks. It’s still alot. But if any of you can afford it, we’ll try to have some time together for discussion and mutual encouragement. I will be responding to Brian’s presentation Thursday nite. Perhaps we can all meet afterwards. Check it out and let me know by emailing me at fitchest@earthlink.net If we get ten people who’d like to do this, we can get it at 50 bucks a piece. Not trying to hype this thing. I just think it would be a cool thing to participate in.
