In June 2025, several members of CTR attended the Unity Forum held in Dallas, Texas. The topic was the Nicene Creed - as both an ecumenical gift, and an ecumenical challenge. Our friend Rabbi Dr. Mark Kinzer presented both aspects, particularly the challenge from a Messianic Jewish perspective of “Israel forgetfulness” in the Creed. He also read extensively from Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour: 1700th anniversary of the Ecumenical Council of Nicaea (325-2025), published by the Vatican’s Theological Commission, which in Dr. Kinzer’s opinion has some remarkable commentary on the Jewish aspects of the Nicene Creed.

Michael and Terri Sullivant are respected leaders from Kansas City. They have prophetic giftings - both in the gift of prophecy over others, and in the area of teaching about Biblical handling of prophetic gifts.

In 2011 they gave a workshop at Hope Chapel in Austin, Texas. They spoke together on the topic of God’s ability to rewrite the narrative of our lives. This seems an appropriate teaching to revisit, since Amy just finished the Runaway Bay manuscript that “rewrites the narrative of her life” (and her Dad’s).

Teaching given on Austin 28, 2011.

This teaching ended the Antioch Network retreat in Austin in July, 2010. The focus of that retreat was, “Restore the Ancient Anointing” - a theme very much on George’s heart in those years, as he also was working on the Ancient Wells compilation. But he broke from the theme to narrate several key events in his life that taught him about God and himself, helping him mature into a more whole-hearted follower of Jesus.

Teaching given on July 30, 2010, at Still Waters retreat center in southwest Austin.

As the Hope Women’s book study of In the Bosom of Abraham wraps up, it might be worthwhile to revisit Amy’s 2019 teaching on Abraham, a friend of God. This teaching has some of the seeds that became her book on Abraham.
