Friday, November 6, 2009 2:15 – 5:00pm Pacific Time This Webcast is "Live Only" (not recorded). - Diana Butler Bass Pastors Conference: Is open to all conference attendees. What's Re-emerging?: The Past as Path to Renewal. This presentation will provide a preview of Dr. Bass's most recent book, A People's History of Christianity: the Other Side of the Story. In it, Dr. Bass explores the dynamic effect that congregations experience when they rediscover the richness of the Christian heritage. Dr. Bass describes the invigorating effect she has observed in many mainline congregations when they thoughtfully draw upon patterns of Christian spiritual practice from earlier periods. She finds that a congregation's critical appreciation of its tradition is key to its vitality.  Ordained ministers can ask for CEU credit.

Most churches rely on their "front doors" (visitors to Sunday worship) to provide newcomers to grow. Unfortunately, in most congregations, there are not enough people coming in the front door to make up for those going out the back door (death, transfer, inactivity). Growing churches have discovered the power-and the fun-of building side-doors, and how they dramatically increase the potential for connecting with unchurched people. This session introduces the "what," "why," and "how" of building side-doors, the foundation process in the upcoming PSWD 2-year strategy: Building Side-Doors.
