It has been a few months since we set up this site and much has happened. Since February, most of our time has been consumed with the various tasks associated with moving across the country: packing, getting rid of things, making the logistical arrangements. It has been an incredibly stressful time, but thanks to the support and encouragement of many of you out there it has been exhilirating as well.
Today it is officially 3 weeks until we leave Portland. We will be travelling to San Diego for a few weeks and then making our way across the country, arriving in New York by June 29th. For two months we will be staying in a sublet in Inwood (upper Manahattan). I've never been north of Central Park but I personally can't wait to experience this neighborhood.
Many thanks to Geoff and Crystal Neill for inviting us to speak at The Bridge's "Shaken and Stirred" a few weeks ago. This was our first opportunity to present our vision in a formal setting to a group of people, and it went very well. If you're a Myspace junkie check out the group at http://groups.myspace.com/shakenandstirred (those of you in the Portland area - this is a great monthly event!!!)
All of the busy-ness has made it difficult at times for us to focus on rounding out the vision and mission of 141NYC. Right now we're just trying to get ready, retain our sanity, and soak up as much as possible. I am currently reading Moltmann's The Crucified God which is blowing away my world theologically. Kelly is working on The Irresistable Revolution, a book that is helping both of us immensely in defining and articulating the direction that we are headed.
If you have any input, words of encouragement, or just want to say hello, please feel free to post a comment, or you can email us via the link on our profile page.
