Well, we're ready to begin day 2 of the AEF Conference. I enjoyed a great conversation this morning at the hotel with Aaron Flores, who will be one of today's keynote speakers.  Aaron leads the Emergent cohort in Orange County, California and is an amazingly gifted leader.  I also had enjoyable chats with Brian McLaren and Howard Snyder after we arrived at Northern Seminary this morning.  My conversation with Brian had to do with how the internet and online relationships/resourcing/etc is changing the face of ministry in God's kingdom.  Good stuff.

Like last night, this morning's session begins with a beautiful mix of contemporary and liturgical worship.  Wow. These folks have this blended worship style down.  Very moving.
