Willow Creek

           Figured it was about time I revisited my blog just to let you all know where I am and whats going on.

 

    Arrived last night in Chicago to attend the Leadership summit at Willow Creek community church in south barrington, a suburb of the city. Delighted to be here to engage with  the leadership issue again.

         Romans 12;8 is a significant verse for me and for anyone with the spiritual gift of leadership. It says if you are a leader, you are to “lead with all diligence”. Huge challenge in that.

    Over the next three days that will be the challenge. The line up is stellar from Bill Hybels who will speak on Vision and on Inspiration, to Colin Powell and Jimmy carter, on leadership at the highest level. To Floyd Flake, the leader of a 23000 member church in New York city with an enormous outreach programme into their community, to Richard Curtis, writer of the Vicar of Dibley and Four weddings and \ funeral, on the issue of Global poverty.

 

    It should be stimulating stuff. Will pour out my thoughts on the blog over this time. Good to be back.
