Emergent '05 - Final Night
February 04, 2005
Yep. It's hard to believe, but tonight was the last night and the last general session of Emergent '05. It just went by WAY to fast!
The congregation from Tribe of Los Angeles started things off. Wow! They led us in a powerfully creative and moving time of worship. You need to watch this clip:
During one of the songs, an artist from their congregation began working at an easel, where a canvas stood covered in paint. Watch this:
As the song progressed, he began creatively wiping away the excess paint to reveal a beautiful image that lay underneath.
After then adding some finishing touches and blowing some gold dust on it, the piece stood finished. AMAZING! (be sure to click on this one for full-sized pic)
Bishop Kenny Ulmer brought a good word next, but convention delegates didn't seem to connect with him as much as they did with Tribe.
A couple seminars tomorrow morning, and EC '05 be all over. Guess I'd better get some sleep.
Watched the music vid. Still weeping...
The Peter Gabriel fans are now out of the closet.
That gives me so many wonderful things to think on and ponder about the idea of "Tribe". I once talked with a Christian lady who is fairly well-known as a singer (her sister even more so) who is a Native American about tribe. She said that Jesus was a Jew and the Jews were a tribal people. Something that is almost lost on White Western culture. And she deeply apreciated that idea about Him and felt very culturally honored as a Believer. She is a beautiful woman with long black hair which she adorns with feathers and beads. Jesus has made us worthy. Amen.
