Shane Claiborne

I wanted to encourage any of the three of you who read this blog to go see Shane Claiborne on June 2 in Portland. Don't wait to see if something else comes up. Don't procrastinate. Don't tell me that you have a church board meeting to go to. Call in sick. Cancel your plans. Just put it in your calendar and make that the thing you do. Trust me, it's that important. Go ahead. I'm waiting.

Okay, now that you have decided to go, here is some more information about the event.

Here is a blurb from the Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon website about the event:

June 2
Lecture by Shane Claiborne, "Follow Me: Exploring the Meaning of Being a Christian Disciple in the 21st Century." 7 p.m. at Imago Dei Community, 1302 SE Ankeny St., Portland. Shane Claiborne is a founding partner of the Simple Way, bestselling author, prominent Christian activist and sought-after speaker. Presented by EMO and cosponsored by the Luis Palau Association and the Oregon Center for Christian Values. The event is free and open to the public, and a free will offering will be received to support the event. For more information, call EMO at (503) 221-1054.

Also, here is a link to an article written on the United Methodist Portal website about Shane preaching at Duke University. http://www.umportal.org/article.asp?id=7788.

I wonder if we are dirty enough? Or are are we more concerned about the preservation of our institution than Christ being lived out in our communities?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to hear Shane talk!
