The Elephant Room isn't about men side stepping around real issues the church faces.
It is however disrupting the way we think, the way we lead, and the way we do church with the intent to God's word as our standard rather than pragmatics or popularity.
I think its safe to say we believe uncomfortable conversations, passionate discussion, tense dialogue can sometimes lead us to see Jesus more clearly. Getting tied up in church work we tend to even at times looses sight to the work of the church. I believe Pastor James' heart for this day isn't making friends or even being nice, his heart in all of this is to open up a space where real dialogue can happen and we can lay the facts on the table about what God has clearly laid out in His word for us.
This conference isn't for the church goer looking to be a fly on the wall, its way more than that! It's for the church leader looking to seek wisdom and council from men just like you and I who desire to make our life and ministry count for the Kingdom.
January 25, 2012 is going to be Round 2, a new roster of leaders, more in-your-face conversations and at the end we believe a greater understanding of truth and unity.
