From Allelon:

SEPTEMBER 2 - 4, 2004

THE CONVERSATION WILL BE FACILITATED BY
Alan Roxburgh, George Hunsberger, Todd Hunter, Mark Priddy, Gary Waller & Others

LOCATION: Eagle, Idaho

You are invited to explore new forms of the church with other people who care about beginning new churches andfindingfaithfulwaysforthemtolive.

The North American church is living in an alien context. Once the church was the center of community life, but now the church has been relegated to the margins of society. This time of change requires new, adaptive skills and leadership. Due to a series of critical factors we find ourselves in a place for which we are unprepared and in which many of our assumed skills and frameworks lead us in the wrong direction.

Missional Church Forum provides you an opportunity to examine situations you share in common with other leaders who, like you, live in them daily. It will provide opportunity for discussion around several key missional themes. Facilitators will be present to stimulate thinking along these missional lines. Time will be given for roundtable discussions by conference participants in order to help clarify and strategize for these challenging times.

SOME KEY IDEAS FOR THE CONVERSATION:

1. What does it mean to be missional?
2. How does the church hear the voice of God?
3. How do I help an existing church to begin to think missionally?
4. How do we impact the consumerism of our culture?
5. What does it mean to participate in the Kingdom of God?
6. How does the gospel speak to our culture?
7. What does leadership look like in a missional context?
8. What skills do I need to possess? How do leaders become cultivators of communities?
9. What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of ordinary men and women within congregations/communities?
