Not too much. I mean, a number of us have connected with folks over at Woodland Hills, but not in any sustained or deep way. I've connected with Greg a few times, but not in any great depth. I think being on separate sides of the city and the difference in size (30 versus mega) is an issue. We're open though...but it will probably take some time for us to make a deeper connection.
Do any of the Missio Dei folks hang with Boyd and/or his church members much, or make any joint efforts in ministry? When I make it up to Twin Cities this year, I hope to see what kind of connective tissue already exists between such likeminded groups in the upper Midwest (and whether the Chicago contingent has anything to add or take away from y'all...)
