Emergent gathering in Santa Fe...
Kathy and I returned to Glorieta, New Mexico for the second year of gathering as 'friends' of Emergent. It was good; it was excellent. The food, drinks, and weather were all typical of the area. The friends were even better...
It is an incredibly good experience when people gather knowing that a living passion for Jesus is beyond question for their lives. At the same time, all questions, all thoughts, all ideas about how to increasingly follow Jesus are open to discussion and deep thought.
Without writing about every detail of the gathering, I describe it this way...
It was about brothers and sisters in Christ gathering for the sake of learning how to better love Jesus.
At the end of the week, we left one another having experienced deep friendships, incredible vulnerability, deep love for one another, and stories about the Spirit in our midst.
For pasts of four days we lounged around tables, and we ate and drank with the aromas of fresh bread and the best of wines lingering in the air and their flavors resting on our tongues.
