We’ve just returned from Romanshorn, where we attended (and helped at) the Forum Gemeindeinnovation (Forum for Church Innovation). It was an interesting three days, hearing Alan Hirsch (author of “The Shaping of Things to Come”, which I read recently) explaining his most recent thoughts about church and the changes we need to see. The main value for me was meeting a number of people, including Stefan and Evelyn Peter, Christoph Schalk and Jonathan Brutchin. Jonathan lives about 45 minutes from us, but we never found time to meet here, so met 2 1/2 hours away…
The main message I took away from the conference was the same thing I’ve been sensing for the past several months: get out and do it. We’ve decided what our next steps are going to be – now we just have to take them 😉
