UPDATE: The audio of my talk, as well as the Q & A session that followed, is now online, thanks to my friend and fellow Hollywood member, Melody George. Click here to read Melody's reflections and listen.
On Sabbath afternoon I gave a presentation at the L.A. Adventist Forum entitled, "Missional Church: Recovering Evangelism as Authentic, Credible Witness." It went pretty well, I think. I so appreciated having the eight or so members of the Hollywood Church who went with me, ranging in age from 23 to 97.
If you're interested in reading my comments you can download the PDF. Rumor has it that a MP3 of my talk will be available soon. Stay tuned here for an update.
Great presentation, and I'm sorry I missed it. Thanks for sharing the PDF file! I linked to you on Spectrum [http://spectrummagazine.org/blog/2008/08/26/ryan_bell_recovering_authentic_credible_evangelism] with an eye on extending conversation on this piece. Thanks again!

Thanks for posting this. A couple of days ago I had a discussion with the pastor of my church about evangelism and I sent him the pdf and a link. Both of us are very interested in a missional perspective on evangelism. I'm looking forward to the audio.

Just one problem, Ryan, the Conference Directory for local churches doesn't have 200 spaces for "Evangelism Coordinator"; and to think half of them aren't even baptized members nor listed on the church books. It is even rumored that a few of them have only been to church twice!
