I got into Louisville yesterday around 4:15 and checked into the hotel - which is VERY nice. Great thing I have discovered about being an adult is getting to decide what kind of hotel you stay in. Sorry Great 8 or Super 6...
Perhaps the thing that I look forward to the most about the FOTAR is the R - Reunion. As I type this I am in the suite that a couple of classmates and I have reserved talking "shop." We have solo pastors of small churches, college chaplains, a pastor of the 3rd biggest church in his presbytery and then me the only Associate Pastor in the mix. Couple that with my friend who is working on his Ph.d and the conversations are awesome.
Today we hear from all 3 of our main presenters: Diana Butler Bass, who was just @ Springfest; Marcus Borg, a scholar who is well known for his work on the Jesus Seminar and his book The Heart of Christianity, and Brian McLaren, an author and editor of the magazine Sojourners. All the lectures have been sold out and they are expecting record crowds. All and all very exciting!
Updates to follow...
