Is it my browser or your links? The picture doesn't show up either. I would love to read a bit more about the discussion as I have a couple of Andy's books and have been impressed with him as a leader. For whatever reason, I cannot access any of your links.

At some point the Atlanta Cohort and the Charlotte Cohort need to have a Southeast regional gathering of some sort somewhere. I've been talking with John O'Keefe (at 247Connection Church in Hickory, NC) about organizing such a gathering. We'd love to connect with ya'll and others connected with Emergent Village in the Southeast. Shalom, Steve Knight http://indieallies.meetup.com/27/ Thanks for the update, Adam! Very cool, indeed.

I'm a North Point member and it's wonderful to see everyone freely invited in to the conversation. We are united under the same God and all desire the name and fame of Jesus Christ. That is so cool!

I think we need more of this in inter-church and inter-religious dialogue. I respect your critiques on churches like North Point and I respect that you can sit down with the man in charge and be friends. Show a lot of humility on both sides. Adam,

About seven months ago I left a youth pastor position because I gave my lead pastor the Mclaren Trilogy. I say "left" but it was either I left or I would be forced to leave. Many can resonate with that story I know. The ironic part is that the lead pastor I worked for was/is a total North Point & Andy Stanley fan. I recall one conversation with my lead pastor about the "Seven Practices of Effective Ministry" Book, (A wonderful read by Andy Stanley) where my lead pastor was adament that anything emergent was about ran contrary to what Andy Stanley was doing at North Point, the church which my lead pastor was attempting to re-create in California. I read the conversation that started in 2005 with Andy and to see that Andy attended the Atlanta cohort brings a smile to my face. Andy way to go, If only my lead pastor was as open as you. He (my former boss) put Andy in a box. I continue to have a deep respect for Andy Stanley because regardless that North Point has so many people, I know from reading a lot of his stuff that he is absolutely committed to making his large church as small as possible through community groups. It is great to see Andy's humility in coming to a cohort meeting. Some things are so ironic. About seven months ago I left a youth pastor position because I gave my lead pastor the Mclaren Trilogy.

I think the conversation (about multi-site churching, et al) would have been way more one-sided and un-nuanced had he not been there. Not that he and his friend said much, but their presence tempered the conversation. I'll be interested to see if he'll be back next month! Yeah, last night was a blast.

I'm currently an intern with North Point, and I can definitely attest to the incredible humility this man embodies. I don't know if you can find another person of his stature, so to speak, that genuinely cares more about others than he does about himself. Whether you agree or disagree with his ministry philosophy, I think that's one of the greatest qualities you can find in a pastor.
