OK. I’ve managed to track down some details on Brian McLaren’s visit to Sydney and Melbourne, courtesy of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. You can now download the brochure from the Mission Consultants site at UCA Queensland Synod. Or click on the brochure picture below to download the pdf file.
Brian’s a key conversation partner in the emerging church conversation, linked with Emergent Village in the USA and a minister with Cedar Ridge Community Church. He’s the author of several books and is online at A New Kind of Christian.
