When Brooke and I moved our family into the city about 5 years ago, I never would've imagined what I saw tonight. I hadn't even met several of the people that came out tonight for the gathering. Wow! It was a bit unique, we asked folks to tell us what they thought the Collective was and/or should be. There was a diversity of opinions but consensus on some helpful things without influence from those of us that helped coordinate this. Kind of makes me feel as though we just might be doing a few things right. Thanks to TC and the AAC folks for hosting us and organizing everything. Seriously amazing job! And thanks to everyone who documented the conversation via twitter.

I'm tweeting thru tonight's workshop with Erik Olson Fernandez on A History of Nonviolence. You can follow that on Twitter or on Facebook.

Have you seen the new site design over at ecclesiacollective.org?! Dang! My man, Dan So did an amazing job giving the EC site a major overhaul. I think he did an amazing job. Go check out Dan over at headsparks* and his review of Tom Sine's The New Conspirators over at the EC site.

Thanks, Dan!
