Pete and TSK
To understand the cartoon fully read this. In many respects the two people in the photo, Andrew Jones and Pete Rollins exemplify what I'll take away from the Soliton weekend the most. Here are two guys who I would guess (and it is my opinion I'm expressing here) that differ, and not just in body shape. I would guess that they differ on lots of theology, in the way to express what it means to be a follower of the Christ, in what church is and how to do it....yet there is a mutual respect and warmth between them.
Perhaps if there was one thing that marked out the weekend, particularly the Portrush sessions was that a group of different people, from lots of different contexts can together and for the sake of mission and in a desire to follow Jesus, created a safe environment where you could say what you were thinking without fear of being judged in the knowledge that you were loved.
[so Jesus said to them]..by this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another - John 13:35
Brodie,
Thanks for mentioning this event. Are you going to be sharing anymore about it?

John - yes I plan to try and share a bit more.It was so conversational that it's hard to sum up things! Soliton also have a gathering at least once a year in Ventura which I think is near you.

Did I spot your back in one of TSK's flickr photos of the weekend?
