This years Off The Map event in Seattle is called Mirrors and Maps. It will be held Nov 20-21 and will feature among others Phyllis Tickle and Michael Frost. It will be shorter (Friday night- Saturday morning ending at noon) and even more entertaining than past events. We will take a close look at the influence the African American Church has had on the Emerging-Missional Church and introduce some new ideas related to the Practicing Church. We will present a Trade Show where practitioners of serving others (otherlyness) will share their best practices and insights. Website will light up August 1.
