Announcing Christianity 21

 

Christianity 21: Faith in the 21st Century
21 Voices
21 Ideas
21 Minutes Each

We live in a time of epochal change.

Many find this change exciting; for others, it’s a challenge. Call it globalization, pluralization, or postmodernism, this change affects our economy, politics, government, and education—all of society. And, of course, our faith and our churches are not immune to change.

So we have gathered 21 of the most important voices for the future of Christianity—21 voices for the 21st century—to speak into our future as people of faith in this age. They represent a diverse array of backgrounds, interests, and passions, and they will provide a wide range of innovative and challenging presentations.

Christianity21 is less a conference and more a happening, an event—a gathering of voices and ideas that will shape the future of our faith. And to the 21 voices, we want you to add your voice, whether you’re a seeker or skeptic, leader or layperson, disciple or doubter.

We hope you consider joining your voice to ours at Christianity21.

I'm really excited about this event.  I'll be one of the 21 speakers but don't let that dissuade you from attending - the other presenters are legit.  It's an amazing collection of voices.

My topic: Authority; Authenticity and Assholes

Hope to see you there.

I was going to sign up for this conference, but I called my Spiritual Director, Mark Driscoll, and he said it was abhorrent to the Lord. Maybe Ill get to see you for coffee sometime when youre here though?

At the risk of promoting disunity in the emerging church, in which one of the three cateogies you're going to speak on would Mark Driscoll fit? I'm perplexed by his appeal, especially to the young women who attend his church in Seattle.

Would give my ears to attend a convergence of so many bright women self-identified as Christian, talking about what's to come. The appeal of Mark Driscoll to young women is the same as the appeal of any testosterone-laden, pheromone-wafting man. He's a man on the make -- Biblically speaking, of course. Young women often make bad choices when it comes to the men they chase. Would it be un-christian of me to say that I expect to see Driscoll do the adultery perp walk one day?

here I am in this city and I'm not sure I can go to this event! There's a Celebration of Preaching that week as well, and a one day Faith and Writing Seminar.... an embarrassment of riches. That being said, this sounds sooooo intriguing.
