>So this is probably more of a sad bird Friday because their 1rst meeting was in 2003 and if you go to their website you will see a blue box that  says the 2nd gathering was cancelled.

Are you a Strange Bird?Are you called to ministry but not necessarily to traditional pastoral ministry?Are you a free agent – loving the freedom but sometimes feeling isolated and disconnected?Do you ever wonder if you heard the call right?If so, take heart. You’re a Strange Bird – and you’re not alone.The first Gathering of Strange Birds was held in October 2003 at beautiful Green Lake Conference Center in Wisconsin. It was a one-of-a-kind retreat for leaders discerning God’s leading down a “road less traveled.”Strange Birds will gather again. Learn more. SORRY! The 2nd Gathering has been cancelled. Stay tuned here for Gathering updates. The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.~ Frederick Buechner

It is a very interesting site however.
