missiologists gone wild

nothing like a road trip to a conference on missiology to bring out the wild side. professors samson and pavey, farmer porter, intern k-rice, sherry and i set out today for the fair city of chicago. we are attending the ASM annual conference. should be a good time of catching up with some of our professors and meet many of the authors of books that have shaped our imaginations. we'll also enjoy meeting with al hirsch, doug pagitt, and jonathan wilson-hartgrove....they are all presenting papers here. sherry will also present a short reflection on communality on friday night (if you are the praying kind, say a prayer of courage for her as it can be intimidating to stand up in front of you mentors...essentially your bookshelf).

My name is Joshua Coffman and I am from Richmond Ky. I was kind of interested in how Communality worked and exactly what it is. I have heard about places like Potter Street and have talked with the Psalters a few times before and had planed on making a trip to JPUSA, but never did. Do you welcome people for visits? I look forward to hearing from you.
