Well, nothing yet to prove my preconceptions wrong. A room full of boring old white people. The presentation have the occasional interesting idea, but very little content that actually relates to real-world ministry. The vast majority of people are sitting looking bored and only a handful have spoken in any meaningful way.

The section on mission-shaped church, which looked hopeful initially, turned into another conversation on mission shaped church within the parish leadership just like we always do. Our table was "randomly" selected to give feedback on one question and I was the nominated to do the talking. What followed was an embarressed attempt to recap on the main points we covered.
