A Conversation

I would like to invite you to the first official "conversation" of the Emergent Village - Vilnius Cohort.

The theme will be:

“The Mission of the Church: ways of expressing the missional calling of the church”

The location will be in Vilnius at “Katpėdėlė“ on P. Lukšio g. 34 (Across from Hyper-Rimi in Žirmūnai. The restaurant is located on the east side of the Senukai parking lot) on Saturday, March 3, 2007 from 10:00 to 12:00. You can stay longer if you like and talk but I want you to know that there is a beginning and an ending time. We will be eating breakfast or drinking coffee(s).

I hope to see you there!

Core Values

I have a question for readers of my blog: Should a church's core values be placed on their website? If so, why? If not, why not?

I see both sides of the issue. On the one hand, interested people should be able to know what the church sees as its core values. After all, these values have been written down to serve as a public resource for the church's general direction.

On the other hand, isn't that just marketing to church people? Who reads these core values anyway? Shouldn't core values be an internal document for the church and its leadership to use when making decisions?

Talk to me!
