Reaching the Unchurched Network aims to help churches find new and innovative ways of reaching people with the gospel message. For some people, inherited models of church just don't work - the forms and structures of traditional church are more of a hindrance to belief.
This year's RUN national conference isn't far away. It's at Peterborough's Kingsgate Centre, over three days - 17 to 19 June 2008. Each day takes a different theme: Radical Church, Incarnational Community, and Contagious Spirituality.
The speakers include Brian Maclaren, Mark Greene,Gerard Kelly,Liz Babbs, Nick Cuthbert, Anne Hibbert, Pall Singh. Also Jonny Baker (CMS), Jason Clarke (Emergent-UK), Steven Croft (Fresh Expressions), Richard Sudworth (CMS), Martin Robinson (Together in Mission), Ali Mackenzie (B1 Church Birmingham), Kate Pearson & Fred Rattley (Nehemiah Foundation), Peter Hancock (Huddersfield Methodist Circuit), Tom Davis (Children's Hopechest), Krish Kandiah (Evangelical Alliance), Geoff Lanham (B1 Church Birmingham), Tom Burke (Grace Christian Fellowship Cork), Gordon Murcell (Bishop of Stafford).
I'd love to be there but am helping with our own Diocesan Leadership Programme. The cost is a very reasonable £90 for the three days.
