Michael Harvey Texas Tour 2014

Michael Harvey, the British founder of the international Back to Church movement will speak in several churches in the Diocese of Texas October 18-25 (see schedule below). Harvey returns at the invitation of Bishop Andy Doyle following successful presentations to diocesan leaders in 2012.

 

Harvey, who followed his own passion to establish Back to Church Sunday in 2004, has taken his message to more than 17 countries on five continents with a message of invitation. During his Texas visit, Harvey’s topics will include the power of invitation; skills needed to become an invitational church; developing a culture on invitation and inviting people to stay. A previous participant said: “the idea that inviting someone was a step of faith surrounded by risk … [your] theological challenge was much more important than any practical elements [of fear people may have].”

 

Harvey has also taped a LOGOS Project interview (epicenter.org/logos), which may be used for Sunday morning Christian formation and, during his visit, he will also make a presentation at the annual Clergy Conference at Camp Allen. Harvey is author of Unlocking the Growth and has recently been inducted into the College of Evangelists and become a Visiting Fellow of St. John’s College of Durham University in England.
