Emerging Women

Sorry for the slow week here, I’ve been trying to recover from Christianity 21. I think the event was so different from what any of us expected that most of us who attended are having a hard time trying to process what happened there. Those who have posted so far have focused on moments of reflection or their emotional processing of the event. It’s hard to explain, so I think it’s best if I just link to some of the posts being put out there about C21. As I come across more, I’ll add them here (and please send links if you find any or write something yourself).

I (Julie Clawson) posted my initial thoughts here

Christina Whitehouse-Suggs wrote on Drunk on the Wine of New Love

Danielle Shoyer gave a recap

Imago’s blog posted some reflections

Tony Jones looked back at the event.

Seth Donovan talked about starting in a new place.

Pam Heatley compared C21 to a tropical vacation

Shula at Sensuous Wife blogs her reaction to the event.

Don Heatley has created an amazing highlight video from the event that really helps capture some of the themes that emerged there.

And for some fantastic pictures from the event, visit Courtney Perry’s Christianity 21 photostream (the picture here is hers) or Jay Bakker’s flickr.

and if you want to witness for yourself the amazing live sketching Paul Soupiset did at the event, watch them here, here, here and here

Oh, and I’m super excited about the new publishing house, Sparkhouse, which launched recently. They created a video at C21 about sparking new life into the church.

This was a significant event that I believe will shape the future of such conversations in the church. I look forward to seeing where it leads.
