On the eve of the maddness

Taken from: http://peterrollins.net/blog/?p=978

I am now back in Belfast and preparing for the influx of people for the Re-emergence conference. Just imagine, if the plane that is carrying everyone went down Christianity might well be finished : )

At least we would still have Phyllis and Sam Tickle as they arrived in a couple of days ago and are relaxing in Belfast. It is such a privilege to have them with us. They are truly great individuals whom I respect and admire deeply. You might be able to hear Phyllis this Sunday (although it is not quite finalised yet) as she may be doing an interview with BBC presenter William Crawley for Sunday Sequence.

Two parts of the conference are open to everyone. The first is the Insurrection event on the 16th (donation appreciated) and the second is the St. Pat’s gig on the 17th (£8 door charge). Also, while the conference is at capacity we can always find space to squeeze in another. So sign up via the website if you would like us to try and fit you in (cost is £55)

Taken from: http://peterrollins.net/blog/?p=954

On the 17th March we will be putting on a evening of music in Belfast as part of the ‘Re-emergence’ conference. This event is free for those attending Re-emergence and £8 for anyone else.

So what will be happening on the night? Well we have three phenomenal acts joining us for the evening.

DJ Brasilia has been spinning great tunes for the last decade in clubs and festivals across Ireland, Scotland and South Africa.  His blend of afro latin funk soul goodness is sure to move your heart and your feet.

Rev. Vince Anderson hails from New York where he is well known for his gritty and unique “Dirty Gospel”. His Blues influenced sound blurs the line between sacred and secular with ease, opening up an experience of transcendence in the dive bars he plays. Each week his band, “The Love Choir”, packs out a bar in Brooklyn where they create an enchanted experience with their passionate and soulful sounds.

question-mark

Last but not least the main act for the evening is being kept a closely guarded secret. A little St. Patrick nights surprise to spice up the evening. Someone you will not want to miss…

Be part of the problem, not the solution…

Taken from: http://peterrollins.net/blog/?p=946

We have just launched the Insurrection website. More information will be added in the coming weeks,

Insurrect

This tour will attempt to outline a radically different way of approaching faith, doubt, atheism and church. An approach that seeks to fundamentally interrogate one of the dominent manifestations of Christianity in the contemporary world.

In the midst of the supposed solution we seek to plant an explosive problem.

This is a totally grassroots tour with no big publicity machine. So please, if you support the project, spread the word around your networks. We need your help to make this work. Thanks!

More treats for Re-emergence

Taken from: http://peterrollins.net/blog/?p=936

I can now confirm two more great contributors for the ‘Re-emergence’ conference:

Samir Selmanovic

He is also the director of a Christian community called Citylights and serves on the Interfaith Relations Commission of the National Council of Churches. Selmanovic has been integral to the birth of emerging church movement, serving on the Coordinating Group for Emergent Village and cofounder of Re-church, a network of church leaders meeting for a yearly conference for theological exploration. He recently published the book Its Really all about God.
