More on the Ancient Future Community Conference

OK, since I picked at Scot McKnight's session (part of it, not the whole thing, mind you), I should report that the rest of the conference today was a great time of learning and challenge, without the same feeling I got in the first session. Bill Donahue and Henry Cloud did a good job summarizing some of their principles of group leader and participant training, and in two breakout sessions this afternoon, issues related to spiritual formation and maturity in small group ministry were addressed by Scott Vaudrey and Rex Minor. These sessions were not only well done, but the clear passion and expertise of the presenters gave me much to consider and to take with me. A great day of learning!
