Shane Claiborne!!

Shane Claiborne
The ELCA Youth Gathering is thrilled to welcome to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome author, activist, speaker and recovering sinner, Shane Claiborne! Shane Claiborne will speak to the risks of practicing discipleship. Shane is the co-founder of the Simple Way, a faith community in inner-city Philadelphia that has helped to birth and connect radical faith communities around the world. His ministry experience is varied, from a 10-week stint working alongside Mother Teresa in Calcutta, to a year spent serving a wealthy mega-congregation at Willow Creek Community Church outside of Chicago. Shane is the author of several books including The Irresistible Revolution, Jesus for President and Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers.
