Mark will be leading two 2-hour Learning Experiences based on his work, Practicing the Way of Jesus. 1 P.m. on Wednesday July 3 and 8 a.m. on Thursday July 4.

This two-hour workshop will explore how we can renew our active practice of the way of Jesus through risk-taking and collective group experiments. Participants will be invited to launch their own experiments following the workshop.
