Joanna Shenk, editor of the book Widening the Circle: Experiments in Christian Discipleship, led a conversation about emerging church and relationships between institutions and movements.
Tweets from the event: “It’s more important to be pastoral than prophetic in many of these cases–we’re in this for the long haul.”
“When our society says “peacemaking,” they mean absence of conflict. When we say “peacemaking,” we mean shalom.”
“Movements & institutions in relationship. We need each other. What could this look like?”

The opinions expressed in articles posted on Mosaic’s website are those of the author and may not reflect the official policy of Mosaic Conference. Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
