I posted this in the regular area too, but then thought it should be here. Do you all know of any of the people putting this on? It is going to be right here in Richmond in January.…Continue

Comment by Christof A. Weber on November 3, 2009 at 1:16pm: Does Front Royal, VA count as Mid-Atlantic?

Comment by Mike Croghan on November 3, 2009 at 5:01pm: Most assuredly! It's one of those variously-defined terms, but I think we're defining it as covering the coastal states from at least New York to North Carolina. And if folks outside that range (West Virginians, y'all come!) want to join, they're welcome too. The idea behind this group was partly to have a bit of a focal spot for folks who might relatively easily travel to the conference in DC, which would obviously include you!

You don't happen to know Helen Mosher, by any chance? Good friend of mine who lives in Front Royal. Episcopalian with missional/emerging leanings.

Comment by Christof A. Weber on November 3, 2009 at 5:18pm: Hey Mike. I'm relatively new to Front Royal having just moved here 2 years ago. I do not know Helen Mosher. I pastor Rockland Community church ... which is not particularly missional/emerging ... though I have strong leanings in that direction.

Comment by Nicholas Connell on November 4, 2009 at 10:05am: Hey Mike and Christof. I live in greater-NY (actually near Hartford, CT). :)

I just joined the New England group, and posted a long introduction, so I won't do that here. But I'd like to connect with you further, Mike, and whatever conversations we're going to have here regarding the conference, and more importantly missional community.

Take care,

Comment by Dave Typanski on November 17, 2009 at 8:03pm: Hi all! So glad to be here and it would be great to develop some relationships more broadly than I currently am developing. I am attempting to re-energize the http://emergingrichmond.org community and could use any referrals you can manage. I have to believe that there are people in this area that can use that community so I will continue to pursue it.

I just saw about the conference next spring in DC (I think) and told my wife that she will have to chain me to the deck to stop me from going :) I don't know if she knows that I am serious!

Comment by Steve K. on November 17, 2009 at 9:10pm: hey Dave, don't be chained! I've got a much better solution: Come to the D.C. event and bring your wife with you! ;-) Seriously, hope you (and your wife) can make it.

Comment by Amy Moffitt on November 20, 2009 at 12:11am: Dave, for real... come to the conference and bring your wife!! We'd love to meet ya'll!!

Comment by Dave Typanski on November 21, 2009 at 8:06pm: She would be great fun at the event. I have a few months to work on her!

Thanks for your support.
