...what struck me at last
year's event was the eagerness to learn how to have conversation with
people who are far from God and become their friend right where they
are. The other thing I observed was that there was a deep desire to be
Wesleyan and true to our doctrinal roots.

...when I walked into last years Emergentia conversation, I had no idea
what to expect. What I found was a group of individuals, of all ages and
backgrounds, who were passionately and desperately seeking to find,
embrace and bring the Kingdom of God to their local contexts and faith
communities. And I walked away from that time feeling hopeful that God
was speaking to us in fresh languages, and asking, when can we do this
again?

I attend a lot of conferences because of my
job as a professor. Some I endure, some I love. Emergentia
is one of the latter. Here, I find kindred spirits--people
who love God desperately and are trying to figure out how to
help the church faithfully live out this love. The
conversations are rich, as is the diversity of people who
are exploring these issues. I walked away from the last
conference with new friends, new insights, and a renewed
desire to fully explore what it means to be both Nazarene
and Emerging. I hope you'll be a part of this year's
conference as I believe you'll benefit greatly from the
experience.

...Emergentia provides the opportunity for you to connect
with like minded people, who just have a passion to see
Jesus glorified. You are able to share thoughts, dreams, and
theories...and talk about how to see those become realities.
I'm looking forward to another great conference!
