Recap: Inhabit Conference + Northeast Regional Minigathering


Majora Carter at Inhabit Conference 2011

This past weekend (April 29-30), we had two fantastic TransFORM gatherings — one on the West Coast (in Seattle) and one in the Northeast (in Cohoes, NY). I’m so thankful for the partnership on the West Coast with Parish Collective and Mars Hill Graduate School (now called the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology). And in upstate New York, thanks to John Martinez and all the folks at The Distillery for hosting the northeast regional gathering and to all who participated in it!

We had ~350 people with us in Seattle for Inhabit Conference, and 20 missional practitioners gathered in Cohoes for the Minigathering.

All of the videos from the TransFORM Northeast Minigathering have been posted online at www.minigathering.org. Here are some of the highlights:

Jackie Hayes: “Global and Local Activism for Church People”
Jeff Godowski: “LGBT Issues and the Church as an Ally”
Pam Heatley: “Emerging Church Children and Youth”
Doug Pagitt: “The Church in the Inventive Age”
Nelson Costa Jr.: “The Emergent Church in South America”
Don Heatley: “The Mobile Church”

There are a number of videos and links from Inhabit Conference 2011 that have already been posted and hopefully more will be finding there way out in the coming days and weeks. Here are a few highlights from Inhabit that I’m excited to share with all of you right now:
