Nanette on The God Complex
on BlogTalk Radio
Monday morning,
June 29, 11:00 am Chicago Time (noon East Coast time)
Nanette will be interviewed by Bruce Reyes-Chow and Carol Howard Merritt (author of Tribal Church).
Our topic is Hospitality, and Nanette will talk about her book, but also about Wicker Park Grace.
How do we emphasize hospitality here, and just in general, how do we go about reimagining church?
Tune in on-line at GodComplexRadio.com. You can also log in to be part of the simultaneous chat-room chat and you can post questions there, some of which will be pulled into the discussion on-air.
Afterwards, the show will be available for download through iTunes.

 Gay Pride Parade
In past years, Wicker Park Grace has walked with the Chicago Coalition of Welcoming Churches.
Anyone interested this year? They have a sign for us, and it makes quite an important visual statement to have all those churches marching together, showing their support to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community.
Because Nanette is preaching at a suburban church in the morning, she won't be able to be there at the beginning of the parade.
Anyone who wants to walk and hold the WPGrace sign, meet up at
the EAST side of HALSTED Street just north of Wellington.
The Chicago Coalition of Welcoming Churches (CCWC) is #55 in this year's Pride parade.
We will likely step-off not long after 12noon, given our low number in the 250-entry parade. It is very difficult to join the parade once it starts moving (due to crowd control barricades). (But not impossible. Try to exchange cell phone numbers with the friends you are meeting there!)
The CCWC will have a cargo van with #55 in the window and signage with the above logo. You can ride in the van if you need a break.
