UPDATE – UPDATE – UPDATE – UPDATE

  • ADJUSTING AND ADAPTING: While I had hope to have enough vids to fill the day, it was not too be by our initial deadline of May 22.  While we did get more than 10 towards our goal of 50, a combination of May school activities and a short turnaround made it difficult for folks to get a video together.  With many folks letting us know that they would do it if they had more time, we are postponing the event by THREE weeks to now be held on JUNE 22 with for real deadline of June 15. One of the great things about this NOT being a face-to-face gathering is that there are no facility deposits or travel arrangements to deal with, just a little flexibility for those who might  have blocked that time off.  And, even if you cannot make this one, all of the videos will be online after the actual event so would really won’t miss much.  For those who have already turned in your vids, thank you so much.  Feel free to update them and/or just let them be.  you get a metaphorical gold star for meeting the deadline!  Thanks for your flexibility and please let this be a prodding to join in on the conversation!
  • NEW VIDEO DEADLINE: June 15, 2011, Midnight PDT
  • NEW WEBCAST DATE: June 22, 2011, beginning at 8:00am PDT

Event Information

Thanks for watching the video and taking taking the time to see what this is all about.  The We Are Presbyterian* Project is not a call to create a new organization or structure, but rather an invitation to share, reflect and dream about the possibilities that God may have set for the future of the Presbyterian Church (USA). With a variety of groups diligently striving to answer the questions about our structure and ecclesiastic future, often times important voices are left out . . . Yours. This project is simply a way for people who might not otherwise be heard or known of to be part of the conversation/s.

We begin – and possible end – with a one day event on June 7, 2011 June 22, 2011 with eight hours of streaming videos made by Presbyterians from all walks of life and ministry contexts. Through the words and interaction that is sparked, this time is meant to prod our imagination, encourage conversation and build up this particular body of Christ called the the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Please consider submitting a video and/or encouraging others to do so by MAY 21, 2011 June 15, 2011. For if we are to discover where God is leading, we will only do so together.  So grab your camera or webcam, share your wisdom with the church and  and I’ll “see” you on June 7th June 22nd.

Peace,
Bruce

* This project has no official connection to the General Assembly or any other judicatory of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
