creating our future in the shadow of

The Common Root
2009: creating our
future in the
shadow of Empire
Time: February 13,
2009 at 2pm to

Mennonite Church
Organized By: Mark
Van Steenwyk
Event Description:
Together we will
explore ways of
creatively
embracing the in-
breaking Kingdom
of God in the
shadow of Empire.
We want to foster
creative
resistance to the
status quo as we
seek community
practices that
bring shalom to a
broken world.
This gathering
will feature talks
by Greg Boyd, Tom
Sine (as well as
two other as-yet-
unconfirmed
presenters), as
well as a number
of workshops. The
focus is on
cultivating
communities of
faithfulness in
the shadow of
empire.
A major element of
the gathering is
the "planting
track" (featuring
training from Jeff
Wright from CAL in
Southern
California) for
those interested
in participating
in our planting
initiative, as
well as other
workshops
exploring
different
approaches to
ministry,
practicing
nonviolence,
living
sustainably, etc.
Registration will
be
$30...registration
information will
be coming shortly.
