An
Invitation from Richard J. Foster and Christopher Webb
Dear
Friend,
  What
is "The Jesus Way"? Who has this way of life? Where
do we learn it? How is it different from the life
we already know? Why should we care?
June 21-24, 2009, in San Antonio, Texas, at a RENOVARÉ
International Conference on Spiritual Renewal, Eugene
Peterson, Dallas Willard, John Ortberg, and other
prominent speakers and participants will be exploring
questions such as these. We will be pushing hard to
rediscover and renew the connection between our everyday
lives and lifelong, intentional discipleship to Jesus.
At the conference, our language for describing this
way of life will be "The Jesus Way."
Now, you might ask yourself, "I'm already a Christian,
right? Am I not already on ‘The Jesus Way'?" Yes you
are. Yes we are. For sure we have some of it right
on. But the culture around us is so pervasive, and
the historical and contemporary life of faith and
devotion so deep and wide, we know there is more to
be learned, embraced, and incarnated into everyday
life. We so want The Jesus Way to be our way,
and we think this conference will help us attain it.
We are especially enthused over the leaders and content
for our time together. General Session speakers Caliguire,
Griffin, Kang, Ortberg, Peterson, Rasmus, Smith, Willard,
and others—this is a great lineup! Seven workshop
tracks that ruminate at length on the content of intentionality
in Christian spiritual formation for various areas
of everyday life: arts, home, business, church, lifelong
discipleship, postmodern culture, and spiritual direction.
35+ introductory workshops on the basics of Christian
faith and practice from the perspective of lifelong
discipleship to Jesus. Enriching worship. Conversations
galore. It promises to be a grand and deepening time
together.
And,
all the better, the conference will be held on the
River Walk in beautiful downtown San Antonio, Texas,
at the historic Municipal Auditorium and in the nicely
appointed Hyatt Regency River Walk Hotel. We will
arrive in Texas a few days early, and likely will
stay a few days late. We hope you will, too.
Most of all, we do hope that you will join us at the
International Conference in June 2009. See you there.
Peace
and joy,
Richard J. Foster
Every
Blessing,
Christopher S. Webb, TSSF
