Future Visioning with the United Brethren
On Saturday November 3, it was a privilege to provide three plenary sessions on "Future Visioning" for the annual conference of the United Brethren in Canada. The meetings were held in Kitchener, Ontario. My three session were entitled "The Church (and Denominational) Life Cycle", "Canadian Trends in Congregational and Denominational Life", and "The Church You've Always Dreamed About ..." Each presentation involved small group discussion and report back time to the whole body.
At the end of the conference, their Bishop, Brian Magnus, scheduled two regional church cluster consultations in Ontario in early 2007. On January 13, I'm looking forward to meeting in Guelph with their leaders from the Waterloo-Wellington region and on January 27, we'll confer with their Niagara region churches.
