TryTank to participate at Rooted in Jesus conference in Atlanta

12/1/2019

By now, you have probably heard of the big Episcopal gathering taking place this January in Atlanta. While at first I liked that the meeting was dubbed, "Episcapalooza," I have to admit that I love the actual name: Rooted in Jesus. In all that we do, we should always strive to be "Rooted in Jesus." Being rooted is particularly essential for those who work in the church. In all that we do, no matter how holy or how mundane it really should be all about Jesus. 
And so I was delighted that one of our experiments (the "Ideas Festival") would merge into the conference. 

We are happy that TryTank will be presenting a total of four workshops at the VTS stage. They are:
  1. Innovation Talks: Four current innovators in the church will give 18-minute presentations of their work and learnings.
  2. Innovation UK: the team from St. Martin in the Fields in London will talk about how they completely remade their congregation (by the way, 75% of their income is from social ventures!).
  3. Where we are: An update on TryTank and a deep dive into the learnings we have gained from the Listening Project experiment.  
  4. Pitch Tank: from an incredibly simple application submitted on our website, a panel will consider seven ideas and decide which become experiments. (See below for more on this.)

The Lifelong Learning team from VTS will also be presenting workshops at the VTS stage on formation and evangelism.

On Thursday night, January 23, TryTank will be hosting a gathering for innovators in the church. It'll be an opportunity to network and have some fun, but we'll also have design questions to spur new ideas for experiments.  (This is a private reception by invitation only. To attend, you can submit an idea for Pitch Tank or join the HeartEdge USA network. Or just hit reply to this email and tell us why you think you want to be there!)

If you haven't already, be sure to register for Rooted in Jesus. Put your thinking cap on and give us your best ideas for experiments in the Pitch Tank. Keep up with all we're doing at the conference by visiting us at www.VTSatRooted.com. And be sure to say hello if you're there.
