I have a confession to make. I've been stirred into action by Maggi Dawn and Jen Baker but sad to say I've needed their nudge. Posting details of the RUN conference I fell into that oh so easy trap of emphasising those speakers I knew and, funnily enough, they all happened to be men. I'm committed to a church that makes no distinction in gifting based on gender and believe that for us men, that requires some active peaking beyond our own privileged circles....So my apologies!
I don't mean this as an exercise of donning sackcloth and ashes but, I guess, to highlight that we need to be constantly vigilant and proactive: no excuses, I was lazy.
Other speakers at the RUN conference include:
Anne Hibbert - Founder and Director of the Well Christian Healing Centre in Leamington Spa and Liz Bibbs, international author, performer, broadcaster, speaker and creative prayer consultant. I notice now too that Kate Pearson, who I know here in Birmingham, of the Nehemiah Project, is running a seminar. Kate is a brilliant lawyer committed to faith based community transformation and is gold-dust so go and listen to her!
While I'm at it, go and visit the Sophia Network which is a resource hub for female Christian youthworkers.
...Thanks for the challenge sisters!
