In addition to the Festival of Homiletics happening right now, there are lot of things happening in the Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minnesota area this summer.
Note the June 12th Redeeming Work event put on by Leadership Journal with Andy Crouch, Skye Jethani, Tom Nelson, and Kara Powell, and Bethel Seminary grads Michael Binder and Joel Johnson at Sara and Troy Groves's Art House North.
All five of the following gatherings are intentionally held together so that people can attend more than just the single gathering. This year they are being held in the Twin Cities at University of Northwestern (which is only a mile from Bethel University).
- Missio Alliance event with Craig Van Gelder and David Fitch. (June 19 afternoon).
- Association of Professors of Mission (June 19 evening and June 20 morning).
