If you had told me 3 years ago that I would be sitting, at Ronnie Floyd’s invitation, in his church listening to him, Johnny Hunt and Al Mohler talk about the SBC as being in decline and the need for us to deconstruct that which is complex and bulky to get to what is efficient [...]

Yep, I’m going.
I’m not sure if I’ll bother live blogging, but I might tweet.
If you are interested follow my twitter or the MissioScapes twitter feeds.
