Even though you had to leave bikemovement to come to the conference, I know you made an impact! I visited your website and made a donation--obviously I was buying what you were pedalling! Strength to you as you continue the journey!

I hope you and the rest of the bikers and groups you meet with can begin to find some toe-holds into what the church... and MC USA as a subset of the larger church... needs to look like to begin to embrace God's fuller vision for the church, community, and how we connect with the world around us. Yesterday, at our Franconia Conference staff meeting, we had a good but sobering report on the Racial/Ethnic Assembly. One of my colleagues, who was there, is passionately concerned that we stop just talking about being the church but that we truly begin to behave differently... fully honoring the diversity we are and that God wants us to become (my paraphrase). We have much work to do to go beyond lip service to the vision of Rev. 7:9 and to become the living embodiment of Christ in our world. I have hope that those of you involved with Bike Movement are part of the solution... for the future but also for today. God speed to those pedals!
