blah

A series of presentations on the "emerging church" was held on Friday (14th) at the amazing Elim@Bristol church building. Karen Ward, Paul Roberts, Ben Edson, Ryan Bolger and Johnny Baker all talked about what goes on in the communities in which they express church. There will, no doubt, be copious blogging elsewhere on the subject. My particular highlight of the day had to be the wonderful irony of sitting in the amazing high-tech mini mega church building, with just about every conceivable bit of kit you're ever likely to need in a venue of this type, looking at Karen's video presentation of the raggle taggle, untidy COTA church building. Amazing. Beanbags, candles, mismatching chairs, but a real presence of love and community! Brilliant.
