Oct 18-21. Emergent Gathering is one of my favourite Emergent events. It costs nothing, there are no superheros on the stage, you get to hang out with everyone. i wish i could be there but cannot come this year. But i do HIGHLY recommend going.
It was Glorieta New Mexico where we held the New Edge Conference in 1998. The name (my contribution) had to do with being the third edge in God’s harvesting tool, a ministry approach for the rising cultural creative culture. Derek Chapman ran the arts studio. My wife put chunks of clay all over the conference center. And I hung paper all over the walls to create a talk-back-graffitti platform. It was really weird traveling all over USA the following 2 years and seeing paper on walls, and chunks of clay in churches everywhere.
Doug Pagitt organized the New Edge conference, and he is also behind this one. Doug is also working on a book about Body Prayer.

Bummer that you will not be there. But our prayers go out to you guys as you prepare for the move.
