there is a loose network of leaders and communities that grew out of a few gatherings we have had over the last few years in the uk. the network was made a bit more intentional/formal recognising that there were plenty of others involved in the same kind of stuff who didn’t necessarily have the history of friendships but could gain a ton from being part of it. so there is an online ning forum/social network. it’s always hard to do but to help define it a bit we came up with the following description of what it’s for and the values…

• To share the journey with others who face similar mission challenges.
• For mutual friendship, encouragement, solidarity, support, gift giving, discernment, resource sharing, ideas and learning
• To see what emerges as creative people connect.

the network has ended up being known as the tautoko network because of the name of the site where it was originally hosted! as well as the online network there are occasional get togethers – the last was before greenbelt last year in gloucster cathedral. it’s a uk based network so ignore if you’re from elsewhere but we have a weekend get together coming up the first weekend in july. if you are are in the uk, agree with the above and want to come along you would be most welcome. follow the link above to book. it is cheap, relational, good food, with some worship and conversation thrown in the mix. the way the newtork grows is simply by people in it inviting others to join. so if you haven’t heard about it it’s because it’s been pretty low key/under the radar. but now you know! if you are in the network and haven’t booked and want to come hurry up and book – places are limited to the size of the hostel.
