It's a bit remote down here but i like the idea...with God all things are possible...and what is possible can be accomplished!

I like the regional p-mergent cohort idea. We have 2 emerging church cohorts that meet monthly: dc and n. virginia. There are a couple Presbyterians present but it's a good mix of traditions. I would see a Presbyterian-specific group as one that offers support to those in our tradition who are yearning, rather than one trying to convert people to our tradition.

We have quite a few who self-identify as "emergent" in our Presbytery who have never been to a cohort gathering.
I would be happy to work on something for 2010. Carol? Brian?

And Ryan, you are nothing if not authoritative. Maybe now more than ever.

I had a list of CG members...I think setting something up for 2010 would be possible. We need a few folks to host to cohorts. Let's connect with those folks we have in the CG and see what comes of it. I do think the time is right to get this thing going.

good call. of course, if you check the stats on my region, it's going to be a hard sell. but something i am starting to work on with a little market research of the area. we are doing some activities in my home church that might make it a little easier to sell. change in these here parts is like pouring molasses in january - outside, after it has been frozen solid.
