There has been a lot of buzz about the upcoming Christianity 21 Conference in Minneapolis October 9-11. Here's why: This is a first. 21 Thinkers, 21 ideas, 21 minutes each. All women. This isn't some lame "women's voices in the church" tokenism, This is a cutting edge conference where all the presenters happen to be female. Go check out who these women are...some will be familiar and others will be new to you. And all the presenters are hanging out with everyone the whole time for conversations and to share meals. They don't just do their presentation and disappear.
For my part, I get to share 2 - 21 minute sessions with Phyllis Tickle in which we will interview each other/simply have a conversation. Lucky? yeah. totally.
Here are some of the cool extras for this conference:
on-site, free-of-charge personal coaches in the areas of Spiritual Direction, Natural Health, Sexual Health, Professional Development and Job Pursuit. Also available are group sessions of yoga and a publishing seminar. In addition, the facility will serve as a living Art Gallery.
Don't miss it. It's gonna be amazing. See you there (come find me and say hi!)
Go-go women!
Go-go theological!
The time for your voices is now
May the Spirit breathe through your sighs and struggles. Amen

I'd LOVE to go. Hoping to get my registration by the blogger referral option, so if anyone is still registering... please use "ariah" as your registration code!
Here's hoping I can make it to a few sessions

Shades of the Re-Imagining Conference! Looks like a wonderful exciting group of 21 speakers with 21 ideas for the 21st century! Wish I had known about the conference sooner.
