Its been a great weekend at the Forge WA intensive!

We have had around 25 of us down at Subiaco enjoying the rich theological insights and challenges from Geoff & Sherry Maddock and the inspiration and creative engagement of Olivia McClean and Stuart Davey.

We have been privileged to have such quality people come and meet with us, but I should also add that the quality of the intensive is also largely shaped by the participants and in that regard we have not pulled up short at all.

The focus of the weekend has been on discipleship and missional spirituality, with a focus on creation care as an integral part of our lives as Christians. Geoff and Sherry have really done some excellent thinking on this topic and in a very unassuming way have been able to lead us to much deeper reflection on it also. Olivia and Stuart have been helping us reflect on how we engage with God and how we encounter his grace thru the disciplines and spiritual practices.

Tomorrow we have:

Geoff & Sherry – the practicalities of creation care

Geoff Westlake – I don’t know how to describe Geoff’s topic!

Jarrod Mckenna – A spirituality of activism

Gareth Williams – lessons from the road

Danelle Hamilton – Families together in Mission – Risk & Reward

It will be an interesting day as we hang out with the crew and our kids and navigate the path between learning and looking after the children!
