📧 “gospel of rutba script for wild goose” from Claiborne
Greg, Jonathan, Leah, Logan, and all --
with the wild goose only weeks away, I've started drafting a script for our one hour session on The Gospel of Rutba. It is my hope that we can do this collaboratively as a lively panel of voices (not sitting down and boring though) -- retelling the story of Rutba both from 2003 and 2010 and the hope it offers our world. I have all four of us "scripted" into this 1 hour session. Please let me know what you think, and especially if you are not able or interested in participating. We will fill in the blanks later and hope to hear very soon from jonathan if the Durham Mayor (also in the script) will be able to join us. The time will go VERY quickly. This is a very rough draft outline, and I plan to fill in the gaps soon, especially as I hear from you. Please also let me know if you know of any other Rutba Peace team folks that are coming to Goose or if you want to invite them (peggy, weldon, sami, cliff, etc...). I think the more the merrier. Our goal is to tell the story of Rutba together as a catalytic story of grace, and to celebrate Greg's book which we will give away. We will invite folks to give a "love offering" -- 100% of which will go to Rutba through sami. Glad to hear feedback. Janell will be helping us pull this together. Fantastic! -shane

i am open to this, but i dont know that i can answer the question of why i went coherently, and (if at all) likely not within 3 minutes... is there a Q&A, or is this more like JBIC, where you need some kind of transcript?

maybe we will just introduce you and give you a shout out then. I really want the session to coherently focus on Rutba and the power of grace, reconciliation, relationship. Feel free to draft me a 2-3 min testimonial if you want but it needs to relate to Rutba to keep things succint. Feel free to pass if it's not a natural fit brother, just wanted you to feel included in the harmony since you went on the second voyage. holler or make offer any ideas you have of how to do that --love ya man, and i'm telling everybody about your book! -shane
