Not in England this week …
I was so looking forward to being in England at Spring Harvest this week, but I wasn’t able to get my visa to enter the UK in time. (The UK has really tightened up on people coming in to do any kind of work – religious, business, whatever.) I was especially eager to engage with the theme of the conference, related to Steve Chalke’s newest book – The Apprentice. The book is tremendous, and I know everyone at Spring Harvest will have a tremendous time. Wish I could have been there!
Recent weeks have been good and full. After the wonderful gathering in Albuquerque, hosted by the Center for Action and Contemplation, I was treated to warm hospitality at Malone College in Ohio and then Eastern Mennonite University and Seminary in Virginia. Each group facilitated good dialogue and brought together tremendous people. I’ll be in North Carolina April 17-19, then Chicago April 22, then Arkansas April 24 … and then at Sojourners’ Mobilization on Poverty April 27-29. Check my calendar (here on the site) for details if you’d like to come to any of these events.
