Q -A Conference for Understanding Culture

This looks like it could be a really cool conference. Here is a description:

Q was created as a gathering place for leaders in the church to become informed and exposed to future-culture. In a three-day experience, Q introduces participants to twenty-five presenters on a myriad of topics selected to heighten their awareness and challenge their creativity as they consider their role in shaping culture.

No other gathering exists that attracts pioneers of the church and the most innovative thinkers into one space for conversation, learning, invention and collaboration. Q brings together key voices in the church and exposes them to the fundamental cultural, social and environmental shifts taking place in the world. By exposing church leaders to current realities about our culture, they can re-imagine how the gospel can be expressed in this context – forever changing their approach in their cities and communities.

At Q we explore new ideas and big questions, become aware of new forms and structures, gain an expert education on current issues and provide a glimpse into the future of American life. We do not break presentations down into practical application; instead, we present information that allows participants to collaborate with others about what this means for the future of the church. Exposure is the beginning of understanding. Q makes no apologies for providing an in-depth experience meant to engage, shock and deepen your awareness of current culture.

Christianity has gained more conversions in America over the last two hundred years than any other faith and yet continues to lose cultural influence. Q is a place where leaders in the church can wrestle with the complexities of embodying the Gospel in a post-Christian culture.
