The St. Louis Story

When Mission America Coalition's annual City Impact Roundtable (CIR) rotated to St. Louis in April 2005, a number of cities were asking to give a bit of a Christian history that would bring the gathered leaders up to date, to help understand how things stand in their city-reaching efforts today.

Here are the MAC notes from the various spokemen from St. Louis.

Here are the overall agenda/notes from this great conference, including 'stories' from other cities.

[Also visit the City Reaching Blog for April '05, which blogged live the conference.]

[Next year's City Impact Roundtable (CIR) will be held April 3-5, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It's an outstanding opportunity to hook up with other city-reachers from across the country.]

Last year’s Million Dollar Baby – which glorified a man “helping” a paralyzed woman to commit suicide – won big at the Academy Awards after first winning big at the Golden Globe Awards. It seems that if something is morally wrong, Hollywood usually says that it's right! Read the review by Movieguide.org .

For the first time since at least 890 A.D. (yes EIGHT 90)..over 1000 years, Christians will be the TAIL and not The Head under British law.
