| Silver Springs Many Nations One Voice Celebration | |
| Silver Springs, Maryland was Wiconi's 19th MN1V. It was exciting to
reconnecting with the Piscataway and other tribal people in this region.
Pastors Charles Schmitt and Guy Carey from Immanuel's Church were a great
blessing to us in hosting and serving us. We were so happy to connecting
with Bryan McLaren and the global emerging church network he represents. I
believe our First Nations scholars have some important perspectives to
contribute to the development of the emerging church movement and its
relationship to missions and its generational ethos.

The historic centers of global Christianity have shifted away from Europe - England, France, Switzerland and European derived nations - America, Canada, Australia, etc., to the continents of Africa, Asia and South America. In part this is reflective of a balancing of western worldview dominance. In the midst of this unparalleled time of transition in our Christian faith, the biblical perspectives of our First Nations leaders continue to emerge as vitally needed for today's church. This shift is a very difficult one for the church in America to embrace and adjust to. However, if we are to successfully meet tomorrow's challenges, we must equip today's church to be poised to authentically present a biblical faith in an increasingly diverse and pluralistic world. That was the aim or the Silver Spring MN1V. "Please pray for the continuing work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of those who attended." |
