Leonard Sweet was an outstanding speaker, and my greatest regret is that, with our overcrowded General Assembly schedule, more people were not able to take in either or both of his talks (which should be available on CD shortly.) And it didn’t hurt that I got to take him to Starbucks!

You are a gold mine of a brother in Jesus! Your posting of this Len Sweet story shook just the right cobwebs loose at just the right time, I do believe! Our church is losing its lease due to a reshuffling with the landlord, and we have this month to find new space. We are small enough not to need a standard church building, and a maybe a bit more flexible at least than the typical US Anglican assembly. I am going to suggest we target a restaurant or maybe a different one each week. What few "props" we do use (vestments, candles, etc) might be useful in attracting some friendly attention, even some added attendance! Love y'all! Don, God bless you!

I'm looking forward to being with your tribe. And Thx! for this discerning and disciplined review of my attempt at laying out the postmodern interface. Some people have misunderstand the interface with the operating system. EPIC isn't the church's operating system (which I call MRI for Missional/Relational/Incarnational).
