Emerging Church Roundtable - Paris

We are all getting ready for the drive to Paris. It will take us about 12 hours to get there and we are figuring out who is going and in which car.

There are a few groups from France that I have not yet met. One of them is mentioned on Matt Glock's blog

"On Monday there will be an Emerging Church Roundtable. One of the groups participating is "Temoins". Jean Hassendforder and the folks he works with have become invaluable friends in the preparation and planning of the consultation.
I'm reading the history of their group. At the start of the movement in 1972 Pascal Colin and his friend were inspired by the simple idea that "authority comes from the Scriptures and that' s the only source of authority [...] authority does not come from Church nor from the clergy. It comes from an individuals reflection and seeking, a free and personal examination.
30 years later the values that were espoused by this group are a part of what is now called the emerging church. Pretty cool."

Yes, Matt. Pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing all the groups.
