Urbana 2006 (in brief)

These are the values that stand out to me because of Urbana:
Racial Reconciliation
The Value and Necessity of Multi-culturalism
Church Unity (ecumenism)
Loving [all] Sinners as Jesus Would
Global Perspective
Compassion and Empathy for the Oppressed and Suffering
Humility

These are the elements of my own specific calling, discovered at Urbana:
~Non-Western~ Seminary or Bible School education
Up to or around a decade abroad* before lifetime ministry in the States
Studying French and/or Spanish
Challenging the Church in America
Opting for Solidarity, for Poverty, for Love; i.e for God

*most likely Latin/South America or Africa

YES! We are so going to be chilling together in Latin America and Africa over the next ten years.
