Sacred Journey has been peacefully slumbering for the past couple of weeks. I’m decompressing after final exams and a month of way-too-much drama at Westminster Theological Seminary. This is also the time of year when I like to re-evaluate the purpose and future direction of this blog, so I’m spending some time giving that some thought.

In the meantime I’ve joined up with a project about which I’m very excited. Conn-versation (http://connversation.wordpress.com) is a new team blog dedicated to reviving and applying the legacy of the late Harvie Conn, professor of missions at Westminster. Harvie was a man ahead of his time; he was missional before missional was a word. And most amazingly of all, he was missional in a conservative Reformed context. As such he has become something of a teacher to many of us who feel drawn to the same trajectories he laid down, even though we may never have actually had a class with him. Through his writings and through some of our current WTS professors who seek to carry on his legacy, Harvie and his call to bring word and deed together to reach a lost world continue to inspire. However, it concerns us that his name and his teaching is little known to the rest of the Church and somewhat in danger of dying out even where he is known.

Therefore a group of my friends, mostly WTS current students or alum, have begun Conn-versation as a public conversation on themes inspired by Harvie Conn’s work. I invite you to ‘listen in’ as we do, and if you are ready to have the way you look at evangelism, the church, and your place as a Christian in God’s world all challenged to their core, read his stuff.
