Cornerstone Festival
05 Underground & Urban Alternative Sub-Cultures Tent
Seminar
Descriptions
Punks, homeless youth, artists, travelers, ravers,
cyber geeks, rainbows, goths, the music scene - the scenes that
really birthed post-modernism through their anti-modern, anti-corporate,
and anti-Christian affinities. Over 100 years of sub-culture
experience are represented in the 5 main speakers/hosts (part
of the Underground Railroad senior brain trust). Along with
a heart to give away experience, insights, and tears, this tent
will excel in skin art, facial hair, & dreads.
It takes
a "Celtic Community": Missional Community inspired by the Celtic
Church Peter Wohler:
Source with Brad Culver: Refuge, Ontario & Mike Troxel: JPUSA/Seeds
Authenticity, relationships and community are
the common themes running throughout alternative sub-cultures.
Many found these values in the sub-cultures, after not finding
them in the church. The historic Celtic church embraced these
values along with a raw, organic, artistic style that befriended
and effectively ministered to a hostile pagan/druid culture.
Peter has been part of the Northumbria Community (England),
since '93 & leading Source (Minneapolis), a Missional Community,
focusing on outreach & discipleship involving the arts & Urban
Alternative Sub-Cultures since '95. www.SourceMn.org
Homeless
Youth: Holistic Outreach & Discipleship Peter
Wohler: Source
- The USA has over 300,000 Homeless Youth. Over
30% of foster care will be homeless within a year after becoming
of age. They have been seduced by the sex/porn industry, gangs,
and even mosques in our own church's neighborhoods. Includes:
Homeless Youth Documentary, outreach (Fallout Urban Art Center),
rainbow gatherings, hosting meals, discipleship, transitional
housing & community homes (100+ residents since '95). Peter
has worked with homeless youth since '89. He has overseen transitional/discipleship
housing since '95, which he initiated by living with the residents.

A
Post Modern Theology of Culture, The Arts, and Social Justice
for the 21st Century Bruce

to seek to change it. Bruce is the Director of the Refuge, Seminary

Rethinking
This Thing Called Church: The Emerging Church in the Postmodern
World: Brad
Culver, Refuge Ontario
The church is not buildings it's people.
It is something we live vs. just attend. This series will seek
to challenge our perspective of Church by exploring the Transitioning
Church (of which the Underground is a part) in post-modern post-Christian
culture. What does it look like? Implications for developing
relevant faith communities? Liquid? Solid? Form? Function? Holistic?
Missional? Celtic? Liturgical? Brad & Mary, are products of
the Jesus movement, missionaries in India, & have pastored an
alternative faith community: Refuge, Ontario for the last 12
years. refuge@golden.net
