James will be traveling the fall to the United Kingdom and the United States to study at various locations.  Each part of just faith journey will help him get a better understand of the emerging church and its affect on the ever-changing face of faith.  There will be multiple stops at each country which means many stays at different locations.  

Proponents of emerging church believe the movement transcends such "modernist" labels of "conservative" and "liberal," calling the movement a "conversation" to emphasize its developing and decentralized nature, its vast range of standpoints, and its commitment to dialogue. Participants seek to live their faith in what they believe to be a "postmodern" society. What those involved in the conversation mostly agree on is their disillusionment with the organized and institutional church and their support for the deconstruction of modern Christian worship, modern evangelism, and the nature of modern Christian community.

James is currently the Minister at St. Albert United Church in St. Albert, Alberta.  The church is part of the United Church of Canada, a Protestant Christian church.  The church is very progressive in its views on theology, recently becoming an affirming congregation in 2014.  He has been there since 2008.

Any donation to help James expand his knowledge of faith and emerging chruch will be appreciated.  Blessings.
