He will provide a starter covenant, some of the major topics to consider for group discussion and approval, and the enthusiasm to drive us to a final draft of the covenant.
What is a covenant? As Lilly pointed out at the Backyard Bonfire, it's a promise. Just as God promised us new life in Christ, we will make promises to each other as we journey to New Orleans and back. It will include what we will do for each other -- on the bus, in New Orleans, at the Gathering, in the hotel -- like always travel in threes, be respectful and so on. It will also include what we promise not to do to each other, like not keeping someone up late who prefers to go to sleep on the early side.
Eventually we'll post our Covenant to another entry on this site.
