Don't read too much into the choice of building as Steve says above. If you can you suggest another venue that would reflect Emerging Missional Church...email me. :-) Alistair, the choice came down to logiistics and pricing.

Although I must declare that I grew up going to a private school. But I think you read too much into the venue thing. It certainly wasn't the Hilton and as a venue it worked quite well.

Wesley College in Glen Waverley. The image of affluent establishment private schooling in old Bible belt Melbourne... as far from, one might surmise, the "cutting edge" of missional work in the 21st Century! Or indeed from the new paradigm-forging ministry of Wesley himself many years ago. I visited the Summit for just an hour or so and listened to talk of prioritizing the poor, of new models to reach the marginalized and all that... all the while feeling strange that here we were in a fairly expensive Uniting Church private school, reeking of old money, of establishment, of anything but "emergent church"! I'll be interested to see what came out of the Summit for the many and varied attendees... - Alister Steve,
