The Great Emergence

December 5-6 in Memphis, Tennessee the premier 2008 Emerging church/Emergent/Emerging Christianity/Emergency (whatever you want to call this movement) event will take place.

The Great Emergence National Event.

The two days will be built around Phyllis Tickle’s new book by the same name.

Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence

There is no question in my mind that this is the event for those who are interested in not only the future of the church, but what possibilities are at hand for Christianity and religion in the coming years.

In addition to this being a great event for its content, the structure of the event will also be innovative presentations from a fine roster of exciting voices.

Here is the really great part: You can be part of the promotion of the event and have all your expenses covered—registration, housing and travel.

Here is the deal: When you promote the event (through blogs, email, Facebook, Twitter, church bulletins, putting flyers on windshields, or however you want) and people register using the four-letter code you establish, you will earn points.

Each person registered = 1 point and with each 5 points earned you move to the next reward:

  • 5 = Signed Copy of the Book

  • 10 = Signed Copy of the Book and Free Registration

  • 15 = Book, Free Registration, and Two Night Free Hotel

  • 20 = Book, Free Registration, Two Night Free Hotel, and $300 in Travel Reimbursement

Frankly, this seems like an unbelievable deal, but you can believe it.

So, here is what you need to do from here:

  1. Choose a 4-letter code (no numbers please)

  2. Send code, name, promotion location (site, Facebook, etc.), phone number, and mailing address to Info@JopaProductions.com.

  3. Download the helpful marketing material here (headers, book cover, “register here” button)

  4. Start promoting the event and tell people to enter your 4-letter code into the “Coupon Code” box on the registration page.

And the next thing you know you will be at the event and have your expenses paid for.

See you in Memphis, December 5-6.

Note from the Blog Editor: You can help send an intrepid Emergent Village blogger to The Great Emergence National Event by entering “BLOG” as your Coupon Code when you register online. Muchas gracias!

This is a great idea – I’m hoping to get out there to help represent Presbymergent – one of the hyphenated emergents that Phyllis will be talking about. You can support me here:
