So after the sessions were over, some people went home, others went to one of two restaurants nearby for dinner. I went to one called McCoy’s and had a wonderful dinner with 5 other participants, 3 of which were from Canada. It was a great conversation, with everything from sharing our stories, communal living, rules of life, self-centered preaching, the prosperity gospel, the myth of a Christian America, etc. I loved it. I stayed for about 3 hours and then decided it was time to come home.
I’m not sure I have much to add yet from my closing thoughts yesterday. Many of the presentations are still rattling around in my brain, and I’m sure I’ll have clearer thoughts on them eventually. They were very thought-provoking, and I loved them all. But I think I’m even more convinced that what we’re doing is good, is powerful, and just feels like the Body of Christ should.
Tomorrow the final session will be from 1-3 I believe. It sounds like that was still being put together today, so I’m not sure what it will entail, but I’ll blog whatever I can while its going on.
