Northeast Regional Gathering (PEC): “Connecting for What's Next"
About this Event
About the Gathering
Join us for a day of connection with folks from the Post-Evangelical Collective! Whether you are new to the PEC or have been engaged for years, we look forward to a day together in New York City.
Our time will be centered around relationship-building and spiritual exploration as we seek to collectively (re)imagine the future of life-giving, Jesus-centered spirituality. As individuals, as members of local communities, and as contributors to a broader movement, we will consider questions like: Who are we? What are we for? And what are we building?
We will have the opportunity to hear and respond to a talk from prominent Christian ethicist, and PEC Wisdom Board member, Dr. David P. Gushee, who will share his perspective on the future of the post-evangelical movement; eat a delicious lunch together from Sahara’s Turkish Cuisine; and have lots of opportunities to get to know one another and connect over shared interests and questions.
It’s going to be a great day and we can’t wait to spend it with you!
