This morning, I went to a breakout session on "Building a Discipleship Process"

It was good. One of the interesting takeaways for me was that COR has made several readjustments to the way they do adult discipleship.

One of the interesting things they have developed are Learning Communities. I like the model they offered for those.

Next is a plenary session with Jim Wallis from Sojouners. He one of the 50 Most Influential Christians.

I am eager to hear his thoughts on "Its Time for a Justice Revival"
