Unfortunately, I had to leave the general session early to get a head start to the airport, so I missed Doug Pagitt talking about how they were going to do some things differently next year. Does anyone have any suggestions for possible changes for Emergent ’05? Here are just a few things I thought:
- Less seminars/stuff: Give us more time for simply building community
- This isn’t a youth workers convention: so, stop treating many aspects of it (e.g. General Sessions) like we are just another group of youth workers. We say that the Emergent Convention is about rethinking the church – well, maybe we should start by rethinking the conventions…
- Do we need to stay in the highest hotel available? Is it about space? Is it about we just want to pamper ourselves? Good questions we should be asking…
