School for Conversion (Minneapolis): Dec 12-14

Submitted by Mark Van Steenwyk on October 29, 2008 – 9:03 pmView Comments

Missio Dei will be hosting a School for Conversion on December 12-14. The School For Conversion offers theological education and practical formation for the sake of conversion into a new way of life. Based in Christian communities of neo-monastic discipleship, SFC facilitates study directed toward the creation of new community and creative expressions of God’s kingdom in the abandoned spaces of society.

We can host about a dozen people, so space is limited. Go here to register.
