Consultation

Sounds great! I feel sorry that I didn't hear about this earlier. Will there be some kind of report about this meeting made available for people like me? God is helped us to plant a first simple church here in our area in Belgium.

Alex,
I fear from past experience that these are closed meetings for hand picked people. I have heard of these before. It's sad, but groups like this seem to think they are the ONLY answer. I was involved in a "network" planning gathering in Germany but it was open to anyone working in a network of house churches. Unfortunately those of us actually DOING house church that have functioning networks are never invited. I am not trying to be hateful just report what I see happening.

We were/are trying to see what is happening and who is doing what. We know the we are not the only answer and one of the purposes of the consultation was to try and find/share answers.

One result of the consultation was the decision to begin www.simplechurch.eu to try and connect European simple church networks and network leaders.

As I am sure you must realize, getting connected with all those who may be interested is difficult. And by the way all those there were practioners, the actual doers.

Glad to connect!
Steve
