Diversity Event Update

by Jay Voorhees

A couple of weeks ago we announced an event to be held in May focused on diversity and the emerging church. What we failed to realize is that the Urban Youth Workers Institute was scheduled for those same dates. Since some of the persons we hoped would attend our gathering will be at UYWI, we have put our event on hold and are looking for alternative dates.

We very much want to support the work that UYWI is doing, and we encourage you to check out their site at www.uywi.org to find out more about their event. It looks great and we are hoping to have an Emergent presence there.

As for our event, we want and need your input. We've set up a website to talk about issues of diversity and the emerging church, and will be planning our event there. Head over to www.emergentdiversity.com to check things out. Make sure to register so that you can be a full participant in that community.
