Alt Worship Seminar Southwark cathedral
Pleased to say that the seminar part run between myself and a guy called Toby from an alt worship youth service in Peckham called 'Blessed', went very well. I did an overview on the origins, values and vision of alternative worship communities and something on Fresh Expressions. There were around 25 to 30 clergy, mostly coming from the Anglo-catholic perspective, which was good. Toby, a previous pastoral assistant from STMW talked about an alt worship service which draws on the experience of an Anglican Anglo-catholic service group from Portsmouth, which I had not heard about until Neil Shave mentioned that we should visit a couple of weeks ago.At the Lent course on wednesday and Moot service on Sunday, we met up with the 'Bolz-Webers' from Colorado. He is a Lutheran Pastor and she is training in ECUSA wanting to set up a 'mission start up' emerging church project. Sounds very exciting, and thanks to those who narrated Moots story and learning for them to draw on. Nadia Bolz-Weber, additionally has posted some interesting readings and preparation for Lent for those who are interested - click here and for her involvement in Emergent USA
I have been trying to load up a provocative image as a final entry - but curiously I can't get it to load, so I will do this for a later entry... Mooters, we now have contacts in New York, Colorado and Seattle - if you are going over the pond, let me know and you have free places to stay!!
