Here’s the powerpoint I used in my NOC2008 workshop, Small Churches Make Good Neighbors. I’m using the abbey church model, and discussing the 10 aspects of the ancient celtic abbeys applied to churches today. The ppt is on SlideShare, so you can view and download the presentation, if you find it helpful. I am going to edit and add to the notes, but I think you’ll get the thrust of the presentation as it is. Let me know if you have questions or comments.

Very intriguing. I love the distinction from the typical “corporative” model of church work, and look forward to reading the full notes. It certainly sparks some ideas for my congregation and community.
