A Radical Thought!

I've been popping in and out at the Australian Missiology Conference at Whitley College this week. That's the disadvantage of being at a conference in your own city! You aren't away anywhere so the things that are close to home stil have to be done. But it is a great conference filled with some really interesting people. Great people. And it gives me heart that it filled up within a few months and has been booked out since June.

So here I am in a room filled with 140 wonderful, smart people all dedicated to mission in Australia and New Zealand. Many of them also doing it. And as I am listening to all of the great speakers a radical thought pops into my head. What if at a conference like this, rather then the usual suspects presenting their well thought through theologies and arguements instead we invited people who don't go to church and see no reason to go to church. But people who are maybe in faith comunities of other religions and philosophies or else in nothing. And we just listened to them and in that to God's heart for what they represent and the best ways to missionally 'incarnate' in order to share the love of Christ.
