It’s a brand new day.
The Leadership Centre Willow Creek Canada, your nation-wide ministry that supports the local church through leadership development and spiritual climate change, is pleased to offer a new, comprehensive experience for the entire church - designed to envision, equip, and encourage every leader and volunteer on your team.

No offense to these guys but aren’t there folks that work in a Canadian context that we can learn from as well?

Hey Lon!
I’m actually doing some investigative studies into Christianity with an atheist friend. Questions such as: existence of God, pain & suffering etc. Was wondering if you knew of any good resources?
I know that you and your wife were involved w/ a seeker type small group for a while; I was just wondering how you guys went about it and what you guys studied.
If you could give me any suggestions, that’d be really appreciated!

Hey Joeie, that’s awesome. resources.. hrm… there’s the lee strobel case for christ/faith series.
erwin mcmanus’ book soul cravings, might be a good starter, though it just helps a person begin the search
my wife and i did a seeker type group… but well it wasn’t really your typical one, and we didn’t really study anything. yvz and i were the only christians, amongst a fairly eclectic group and we took turns leading… just about any conversation on life,god, purpose, spirituality.
hope that helps, let me know if you need more

Darn, I thought that Buchanan worked in a CDN context. Is he American now?

I stand corrected Dave… looks like he’s based out of BC on his profile!
