Workshop Christopher “Chris” Smith will present a workshop based on the book he co-authored with John Pattison: Slow Church: Cultivating Community in the Patient Way of Jesus. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove says about Slow Church: The authors’ “central metaphor of the welcome table echoes the God Movement from first-century Eucharists down to the twentieth-century lunch counters. I love the way Chris and John pay attention to what God is up to beyond the church and in ways that build up the church…. And I’m just tickled by the delight of two amateurs in the truest sense--regular folk whose passion in-spires them to reach far and wide for resources to guide a conversation about what it means to live faithfully in the way of Jesus….But what I love most about Slow Church is the way this book talks about faith--and invites us to talk about it--with attention to the Word made flesh.
