I dream of a Church . . .

1. Introduction to this project . . .

100%

During July, August and September of 2009, I’ll be videotaping brief interviews with Episcopalians as they answer the follow-up questions following each of Brian McLaren’s recent claims (see the complete text at http://plantingcentral.typepad.com/bench/2009/06/the-invitation-.html )

It is my hope to combine an inspiring collection of “I dream of a church where . . .” statements with practical “next steps” statements that will offer a sense of vision to new leaders in our Episcopal Church. I’ll be wandering the halls of General Convention for two weeks, video camera in hand. I'll also be traveling the Church visiting new ministries during those three months.

Here is the process:

a.) Watch Brian McLaren’s presentation.

b.) Read through the outline on the Blog site linked above and choose follow-up questions that inspire you to take action.

c.) Make note of your responses – maybe even spend some time journaling the way that your heart came alive as you considered the possibilities of the kind of Church that Brian is naming.

d.) Contact me to let me know that you would like to be included in this videotaped interview series.

Complete this registration page and the system will let me know that you have. You may also contact me at 646-203-6266 or at tbrackett@episcopalchurch.org

We’ll work out the details of meeting somewhere to conduct the interview!

Thanks,

Reverend Tom Brackett
