Yes, this Thursday through Saturday I will be going to the Willow Creek Leadership Conference being hosted at Cornwall Church. I am trying to have a good attitude, but I also know that I have been to five before this one and have yet to be impressed. There have been good speakers, don't get me wrong, but I think this conference has definitely pushed the idea of leadership too far. This is especially true when I think about how much Christian spirituality has been pushed-out of pastoral ministry. Is our job to cast vision or point to the work of the Spirit? Hybels needs to read some Merton and Eugene Peterson books...
I'll give a full update when I return, with lots of ministry news as a bonus.
Peace,
Matt
Currently Reading: Practicing Passion: Youth and the Quest for a Passionate Church by Kenda Creasy Dean. I've only read the first chapter, but it's already blowing my mind and making me shout hallelujahs out of my office!

Have fun at the Willowship Summit. I look forward to a good, scathing review.
