This is a brief list of some event happening this month. Some of us from the MSH will be participating at these evens.
Mark Scandrette – The Jesus Dojo: A Path to Action, Community and Change:
How to start your own Jesus-inspired group experiments
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
Mars Hill Graduate School 2501 Elliott Ave, Seattle, WA 98121
Summary:
So many of us want to live in the Way of Jesus—pursuing a life that is deeply soulful, connected to our real needs and good news to our world. Yet so often our methods of spiritual formation are individualistic, information driven or disconnected from every day life. We are simply not experiencing the kind of transformation that is the historically expected result of the Christ phenomenon. Perhaps what we need is a Jesus Dojo—a path for growth that is more like a karate studio than a college lecture hall. If you are intrigued by Reimagine’s experimental approach to formation and community life, come to this one night training event to learn how you can create you own Jesus-Dojo.
