Mosaic Origins 2009 met at Eimeldingen, Germany with Erwin McManus and many of his team coming to encourage Christians who gathered together from all over Europe for this conference. The conference was in English with German and French translation. Approximately 300 people attended the conference.
It began at 9.30am on Thurs. 8 January and concluded at 5pm Saturday.
Erwin's first talk was entitled "Momentum" (Mosaic story).
Second session was Ethos - 5 Core Values (see below)
Synergy
Narrative - Apostolic Ethos
The 2 other speakers were Naeem Fazal on "Essentials of Transformational Growth"
Eric Bryant "Organizing for Innovation"
There were 6 Breakout sessions held during the conference. They were:
1. Wind - Commission
Mission is why the Church exists. "People matter most"
2. Water - Community
Love is the context of all mission "Love permeates everything"
3. Wood - Connection
Structure must always submit to Spirit "Passion fuels action"
4. Fire - Communion
Relevance to culture is not optional "Relevance communicates truth"
5. Earth - Character
Creativity is the natural result of spirituality "Character creates change"
As you can imagine, the conference was fairly full on with much to take in, process, learn. It was great to catch up with so many like minded people and we found this a great encouragement.
I've given the 'bones' of the conference and hopefully tomorrow Roger will write more in detail about what we got out of the conference.
