PresenTense's Chicago node is growing strong, and I'm having a great time out here meeting the new folks getting involved. Tonight we went to a bar called Guthrie's Tavern for boardgames, and tomorrow we have two events that, if you're in Chicago, we'd love to see you at:

With a new issue out, PT Magazine editors and writers got together in Chicago. You in Chicago? Then get involved at chicago@presentense.org

79 inspired and inspiring volunteers from around the world -- writers, editors, and artists-- collaborated to make our seventh issue of the magazine, covering the way religion is experienced by our generation, and those innovations that have redefined the here and now. Our cover story, the rise of lay led congregations (Minyans of the People), and a new design, heralds probably the greatest issue of PresenTense Magazine to date. You can read parts of the issue soon at www.presentense.org/magazine and subscribe at www.presentense.org/magazine/subscribe.
