The speaker at this years Connect was Greg Boyd. He’s written a lot of books and is really smart…and can be somewhat controversial…which adds to the fun. His most well known book may be ‘Letters from a Sceptic‘. He did a great job communicating aspects of the Kingdom was a real encouragement to us. Specifically, his last talk…which was the least theological in nature…really impacted us as he shared about his past and how he’s learned to invite Jesus into his memories and imagination. You can find it here and it’s called Waking Up to a Revolting Beauty.
Check out what Greg had this to say about CAI here on his blog. It’s cool (and encouraging) to hear an outsiders (who is now an insider) perspective on CA. I do believe that Christian Associates is a unique movement and we are the front edge of missional thinking on a movement level. We make a lot of mistakes along the way, but as scripture says, “Love covers a multitude of sins…”! And love is something that we are not often short on in CA. I would take love, family, freedom, grace, a development ethos, and humility in an organization over a lot of other things…We’re blessed to have been on the journey with CA for 4 and half years now. I see good, Kingdom things on the horizon.
