This year’s Autumn Gathering will be held at John Knox in Rangiora. Joining us will be Dr Andrew Root and his wife, Rev Kara Root from the USA. Andrew is currently the Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary in Minnesota and lectures on the theology of ministry, youth ministry and culture. He is the author of a number of books including When Church Stops Working and The End of Youth Ministry. His wife Kara will be joining him. Kara is a Presbyterian minister with the PCUSA and is a spiritual director and author. We’re really excited about having Andrew and Kara join us.
We want to make it easy for people to come along and hear what Andrew has to say and would encourage you to invite members from your wider leadership and volunteer teams to come along to hear him and to assist them with the registration costs for this.
As always, the registration cost covers meals and refreshnts for the time that you are with us.
