More treats for Re-emergence
I can now confirm two more great contributors for the ‘Re-emergence’ conference:
Samir Selmanovic is a founder and co-leader of Faith House Manhattan, an interfaith “community of communities” that brings together Christians, Muslims, Jews, atheists and others who seek to learn from the teachings, practices, sufferings and joys of people from different belief systems. He is also the director of a Christian community called Citylights and serves on the Interfaith Relations Commission of the National Council of Churches. Selmanovic has been integral to the birth of emerging church movement, serving on the Coordinating Group for Emergent Village and cofounder of Re-church, a network of church leaders meeting for a yearly conference for theological exploration. He recently published the book Its Really all about God.
Vince Anderson, AKA “The Reverend”, is a musician who specialises in what he terms “Dirty Gospel”. A Blues influenced sound that blurs the line between sacred and secular. To date he has released four albums and conducts weekly late night services with his New York based band “The Love Choir”. In addition to this he is the assistant pastor for the underground faith collective Revolutions in New York.

Awwww sweet! I suppose it’s too much to ask that they’ll be on the Belfast leg?
