GUEST
SPEAKER - SPENCER BURKE
Sunday, June 20th (Father's Day)
For
the past 10+ years, Spencer has been at the forefront of the emerging Church
movement, including creating and maintaining
TheOOZE.com - one of the earliest expressions of this transition in
the Church.
TheOOZE.com has become one of the largest relational networks where
people of all Christian traditions interact in a web-based community (numbering
over 150,000 users a month from over 90 different countries). He also hosts an
offline gathering - a learning party called Soularize - which offers
participants a safe place to experience and explore the emerging trends in
theology, Church, the arts and faith.
Spencer is the author of three books: Making Sense of Church, establishes new
metaphors to help define the future trajectory of the Church; Out of
TheOOZE, chronicles the spiritual awakenings of members from TheOOZE.com
in their own words - using articles from the site - with Spencer's commentary; A
Heretic's Guide to Eternity, ground breaking and controversial book that
explores grace and salvation beyond the confines of religion.
Through both experience and research, Spencer uniquely bridges the worlds of
the traditional and emerging Church. His ministry experience spans a broad range
from church planting to the merging of church bodies; from speaking weekly to
leading retreats; from being a pastor to being an elder, where he learned the
heartaches and joys of a pastoral search to leading a pastoral restoration.
Spencer's 22 years of professional ministry culminated with his position as one
of the teaching pastors at Mariners Church in Irvine, California where he played
a strategic role in the congregation's growth from 800 to 10,000.

GUEST SPEAKER -
ED SALAS
Sunday, July 11th.
Pastor of Spiritual Care at Newsong
Church in Irvine, CA.
Ed Salas is a native of Los Angeles who now lives Orange County. The most
influential person in Ed’s life was his Dad; an immigrant from Mexico who taught
Ed from an early age to work hard and to cherish this country.
After college Ed went into outside sales for the next 14 years which suited
him well since he likes to talk a lot and would die if he had to be chained to a
desk all day. While still working at Motorola, Ed pursued a degree in theology
at Fuller Seminary. For the last 18 years Ed has served God vocationally and has
served at Newsong Church in Irvine for the past 5 years where he is the Pastor
of Spiritual Care.
Ed’s passions in life include listening to jazz, camping at Big Sur, reading
a good book, going to the movies and eating ethnic foods; he never met a calorie
that he didn’t like! Ed has been married to his wife Ginny for 27 years; they
have three amazing sons and a beautiful daughter-in-law.
