announcing EIKON | WHO
ladies and gentlemen, we’re at it again. on sunday, september 27 we’ll be hanging out, engaging in a conversation that we’re calling EIKON | WHO: a conversation about the other.
last month, of course, we had a little soirée at the house where we talked a little about our pasts and how that shapes the way we see the church and christianity in general. so, EIKON | WHO is the next logical step in the conversation. we’ll pick up where we left off last month and discuss who we are as individuals, how that shapes our sensibilities concerning the church and what it would look like to build a community of people who represent a diverse set of beliefs, points-of-view and worldviews.
to imagine a church where everybody thinks like this guy is a frightening thing… my guess is the conversation would be hours of incessant loud-talking and mostly have to do with western shirts and how great 1997 was… :) so, the point is, we need you there!
in the event that you find yourself confused and/or intrigued, you should definitely plan on coming. if you’ve never come hung out with us before, this will be a great entry point. for those who have had the pleasure (we hope) of hanging out with us before, this is another great chance to continue the conversation.
[here's the disclaimer i wrote last time that is once again relevant]
NOTE TO THE INTROVERTS WHO ARE CRINGING AND DRY HEAVING RIGHT NOW (which actually includes myself, in terms of the introvert personality type): because I can certainly empathize, you don’t need to worry about being called on, called out or singled out. it’s your choice about how much or how little you contribute to the conversation. while we encourage active participation, we want to honor the fact that everyone engages in different ways. some do it by talking, while some do it by listening. so, please discontinue your dry heaving…no need to panic…you’re in good hands with eikon. :)
alright, that’s the story. we’re a friendly bunch, so we promise not to leave you with any permanent damage or scars… :)
see you all in a about a week and a half!
