The Beginning of “Origins”

Looks to be the beginnings of a very promising partnership. I’m intrigued to know more about what spured its development on? I’m JR Woodward would make a great addition to that lineup. Blessings, to new beginnings…Tony

Well according to the link this is for: Leaders, entrepreneurs, pastors, misfits, and artists. As I am not a Leader, entrepreneur, pastor, or artist – either it is not for me…or draw your own conclusion.
Or perhaps Friends, pioneers, innovators and catalysts provide a separate category of persons? Who need not subscribe to the Lausanne Covenant?
I could comment further – but it is a bit more diverse a creative team than appeared earlier. Looks interesting.

Yes, I want to receive exclusive offers from Beliefnet Partners
