Hi Ellie and all, 
No I won't be going back down to Melbourne again, although I would love to!
Our Church has completed the LTQ series, and we really enjoyed both Borg and
Crossan in the Visit to Palestine.  Ellie, I'll send on the Lectures when
they arrive here. If I were still a Parish Minister I would sure be looking
for colleagues for support as I presented the Progressive Christianity style
and content.

Peace be with you,
Isobel Bishop.

Isobel,
 
Thanks--I would really appreciate receiving the conference notes.  Re
Dominic Crossan--will you get to hear him?  We just finished 2 dvd series
produced by LTQ, featuring Borg and him. He and Borg were also here a year
ago and did 4 lectures each.  We were able to go on their trip to Turkey
(footsteps of Paul).  He's got a great sense of humor--much easier to listen
to him than to read some his works.
 
Ellie

Dear Ruth, Herman and Ellie, and colleagues all, 
One of the things which really struck me about this Conference was that,
right at this moment it is the Clergy for whom we could well be especially
mindful. In the first Breakout group I was sitting with a bunch of mostly
Clergy, who were agonising about how to introduce some new ways of
theologising and discussing Scripture in their various congregations. They
were saying things like " I will wait until I am retired to start talking
about Progressive Christianity... and If I did talk like this my
congregation would be most unhappy.. " etc.,etc., So I discovered that
support networks are very important for those who are fostering " the new
way..." 
 In about 4 weeks time the lead speakers will send us the notes of their
talks.. I will be happy to send them on to the general listserve... there
will be about 4 or 5 all told- or I could send to the three folk listed
above.... 
 
In peace, 
Isobel Bishop.
