The Community at Intermission had a week of incredible connections. We hosted the annual theology symposium at TLU and led conversations and a learning party on "the emerging church". Karen Ward (Church of the Apostles) and Nate Frambach (Wartburg Theological Seminary) were our lead learners and we also had two awesome special guests: Paul Soupiset (emergentSan Antonio) and Aaron Strumpel (www.aaronstrumpel.com)
The event was largely conversations all revolving around "what does it mean to be church in the 21st century?". We talked about worship, new monasticism, the arts, leadership and "church ecclesiology". There were about 50-75 who participated in the sessions and we closed with a memorable worship with Aaron leading music, prayer stations, a conversation about John's ressurection account and then The Meal.
From that closing worship: check out John, Ch. 20 and then think...
By what name does God call you?
and What does God do to get your attention?*

Karen Ward, Church of the Apostles
Nate Frambach, Wartburg Theological Seminary
Jim Taylor, Mosaic Community Church
Chris Breedlove, San Antonio pastor
Paul Soupiset (not really new...), emergentSA
We all met for lunch at ChiroJava and then we even went up to the second story of the building and dreamed of possibilities for that facility and whether we might try to occupy it in the near future. More on that to come...
