Hello all,
So here are the no doubt much anticipated details regarding the June meeting of the Akron/Canton Emergent Cohort. Some of you have been part of the cohort longer than I have, others are at various stages of connection and interest, but I’m hoping everyone can make it out this month. The plan is to meet either on Friday, June 19th, at 7pm, or the following week- Friday, June 26th, at 7pm- and I’d like to invite you all to my place in Cuyahoga Falls this month. My house isn’t huge by any means, but it should be very conducive to conversation and the hospitality can’t be beat! I’ll order some pizza, and if you want to chip in for that and maybe bring some soda, etc.- that would be great! As for our topic, I have a couple of ideas:
- As this is something of a cohort “re-boot” we could spend some time talking about what we’re looking for or hope to get out of the “conversation” going forward.
- As you may know, the emergent conversation is wide-ranging and can go in as many directions as there are participants in the conversation. Many of us, though, have at least some interest in the kind of “ordinary,” but “radical” discipleship exemplified by folks like Shane Claiborne. You may not know that there’s a new documentary out that follows Shane and others as they try to live out this life in the way of Jesus. It’s called “The Ordinary Radicals,” and I thought we could watch that together and talk about it a bit afterward. You can find out more about the film here.
So, please let you know if you plan to come (please email me at robfredbuck@gmail.com by Friday, June 12th- and let me know which date above works better for you) so that I can make sure to have enough pizza and everything. When I have a list of who all is coming, I’ll email directions, etc. I hope to see you there!
