Regent College Pastors Conference 2011 (Day 1)

I miss Regent College. I miss the academically engaging environment. I miss the people. I miss the library. There are so many things I miss that endears me to try to keep in touch with that beautiful place through other means. I have been a part of the Pastors Conference throughout my student years there. I have hosted, volunteered, served, and learned many things from many different people. This year, the theme is on leadership, one of my favourite topics. Here is my way of keeping in touch, even when I am not physically there. Thanks to Twitter and a Regent student who has kindly summarized his learning on Day 1 here. Below are some of my favourite Twitter quips from yesterday.
