Tim Thomas of the evangelical alliance has been posting comments on this blog and at least one other about a get-together for bloggers. He doesn’t give the date, which is in fact 23rd September. This is what he does write:
Great blog! We would like to bring to your attention an event we are hosting….
The Evangelical Alliance, specifically Krish Kandiah, is hosting an informal lunch event for Christian bloggers to network with one another and think through a Christ-like approach to blogging. Please find an invitation attached.
The event will begin at 11am and run through until 2.30pm. There will be a £5 charge for the event, which will cover lunch and resources.
We would be extremely grateful if you could let us know whether you are available to attend by Tuesday 16 September.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards

Also he didn’t include the attachment, which would have been difficult in a comment. But I had already received this notice and the attachment by e-mail.
UPDATE: I have now been sent some new artwork from the Evangelical Alliance to replace the not very wonderful version I put together out of the original attachment which was a Word document.

This meeting is apparently open to all Christian bloggers. I am not sure yet whether I will be able to attend. If others I know of are attending it might encourage me to do so.
Be great to meet you if you’re there, I’m leading one of the sessions on ‘keeping it real in invisible communities’
I’m guessing one has to be an Evangelical to attend.
Graham, I wondered that, but the invitation I received didn’t say so. I doubt if they require you to sign a basis of faith but the talks may assume a generally evangelical outlook. Phil may know more if he has a briefing for speakers. I suggest you ask Alexandra Lilley if you would be welcome.
The Evangelical Alliance does have a notice of this event on their website. Quite frankly this is not up to their usual standards of web design, but it does confirm that this is a public event, not by invitation only.
Thanks, Peter.
I’ve contacted her and will let you know if I hear anything.
I’ve been invited too by comment and e-mail, right now I am considering things time and expense wise.
