We've heard much for decades now 
about climate change in North American Christianity. Mainline decline. The rise 
of evangelicalism. Mushrooming megachurches and disappearing mid-sized 
congregations. Persons who claim to be spiritual but not religious. 
Post-Christian and post-Christendom North America. A remarkable increase in the 
de-churched and of persons who check "none" regarding religion. 
 
But we also see significant 
renewal movements. Missional church. Emerging/emergent church. The new 
monasticism. 
 
Woven through the climate change 
and movements of renewal are serious and provocative questions about the 
relationship between Christianity and "church." 
 
We invite you to attend the 
Inaugural Re-Mind & Re-New Conference at Phillips Theological Seminary. The 
conference, formerly known as Ministers' Week, is an educational event designed 
to foster the renewal of participant's minds and spirits. Featured speakers 
include: Dianna Butler Bass, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Chris Haw, and Craig Van 
Gelder.
 
A registration fee of $90 
inlcudes the program, coffee breaks and dinner on Tuesday evening.  Registration 
deadline is January 9, 2012.  
Register for the conference 
here.
