Emerging Event in Austin Texas<\/a>.
\nAnd I do hope you come.
\nCan you add to my list (and don\u2019t get too serious)\u2026
\n10. No matter which emerging event you attend, you can say hello to Tony and Doug.
\n9. If you are lucky, you will see Dan Kimball and his awesome hair style.
\n8. You will probably see lots of people there to whom, in a bathroom or something, you can say, \u201cI can\u2019t believe YOU are here! Are you emerging too?\u201d You will here the same people say, \u201cMe, no not me. I\u2019m not emerging. I just like some of their ideas \u2026 sorry, I wanted to hear some of these people first hand.\u201d
\n7. If someone gets the crazy idea of a footwashing, you can listen to a 30-minute conversation about whose Birks are whose.
\n6. The emcee announces the agenda for the meetings fifteen minutes after the event was supposed to begin and everyone on the speaking schedule says, \u201cO, that\u2019s what we are supposed to talk about here.\u201d
\n5. You can see the biggest collection of 30something males with soul patches, shirts not tucked in, blue jeans with nice shoes, and thin sporty glasses that you will find in the USA. You might think the place is somewhere in Italy.
\n4. You might hear McKnight tell you that he goes to a mega-seeker-friendly church, reads evangelical theologians, wears creased pants with a tucked-in shirt and sports no facial hair \u2014 or head hair \u2014 and still calls himself emerging \u2014 and he goes to bed way too early and gets up way too early.
\n3. Rarely will you hear Tom Wright, Walter Brueggemann, Miroslav Volf, John Franke, Stan Grenz, and LeRon Shults mentioned by every person who makes a presentation. (Tony adds Moltmann \u2014 always.)
\n2. Politics is not discussed intelligently, but everyone has a strong opinion.
\n1. When you are done, it is likely you will be more confused than when you arrived. You can come to find out what it is like and walk away still wondering what it is like.
\nI should add that you may never meet a better group of people to hang out with.
\nWelcome to an emerging event! And, when the sessions are over, go to the closest pub and you might witness an emerging event up close and personal.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019ve been asked to host (emcee) an emerging event about what emerging Christians believe this October 19 and 20.
