Great Event You Should Check Out

Later this month in Pacific Grove, California, the Alliance of Baptists will be having their annual convocation, focusing on being "Born of Wind and Water". The event goes from July 29 to August 1.

This promises to be a great gathering for Christians of all stripes, particularly for progressive evangelicals that find themselves agreeing with many of the stands the Alliance takes (I find myself in this camp).

One of the highlights of the convocation will be presentations by Mark Yaconelli, an amazing thinker and speaker whose book, Contemplative Youth Ministry, is a must read. In fact, if you use the word "yacpack" in the comments section of the registration page, you'll receive a copy of Mark's newest book.

Also, if you happen to register for the event after learning of it through my blog, I'd appreciate a shout-out in the comments section on the registration page.
