If you want to get caught up on the reasons for the mortgage crisis, what sub-prime loans mean, how the economy got into the situation it is in you really should listen to this story from This American Life and NPR.
It is an hour long, but to my mind, so worth it.
It shows how the role of people, honest, common sense, better rules and doing the right thing could have made such a difference.

Here is my first plenary presentation from the Creativity In Ministry Conference (I ended up not recording the 2nd presentation).
If you have heard my stuff before some of this will be familiar with you. But like the album Darkness On The Edge Of Town it might be worth hearing over and over.
I did the recording with my computer not the soundboard so that is the

I did phone interview with Chris Rosebrough who hosts an internet radio show called Fighting For The Faith.
He wanted to talk about the content of my book. He is, by self description, “not really in my camp”, but the conversation was healthy.
He posted the interview on his show with his lead in and comments but I felt like my copy of the recording sounds better, so I am posting my recording.
I start the recording when I called him at a hotel in Illinois (Not to brag but I had to pay the long distance for the hour-long call. His show, but I paid - oh, I think I just hurt my arm patting myself on the back). I left in all the little chit-chat, Chris’ copy has removed it. I think it adds a sense of warmth.

I was a guest on WWJC radio today about A Christianity Worth Believing.
I thought the interview went well.
Here is the interview.

I am going to send you to Tim Reed’s sight for my podcast this week.
We did an interview over skype so the volume is a little low.

Here is a video from our first day visiting the Compassion headquarters in El Salvador.
They do an amazing job of connecting sponsors with the children. There are 33,000 children sponsored in El Salvador. And many of them are in written contact with their sponsors.

I just returned from my trip to Seattle for the Seeds of Compassion event. What a special couple of days.
I made a video of my reflection of the event. I have picture in my flickr page - you can see them by following the link on the right side (if you are actually on dougpagitt.com and not just reading the RSS feed).
The long and short of it was that I was on a panel with Desmond Tutu and 8 other people. The topic was “what do we do to build compassion” in young people of our communities. As it turned out I was one of the only panelists who was from a particular community. So many of the other responses were more big ideas than practical suggestions.
To watch the webcast go of the panel here and scroll to Tuesday. The linked both panels together so it is like 4 hours long. My part is about the 3:40 and 4:00
Here is a screen grab of the panel.
The video below are my reflections on the entire event.

Tony did a fabulous presentation at the Emerging Church for the Existing Church event.
A few of us sat in the back and made a little fun commentary during his presentation.

Russell, pastor of House Of Mercy in St Paul, and I chatted for about a half hour. The conversation was mostly about preaching and the books we each wrote - Post-Rapture Radio and Praching Reimagined.
In many ways these books are saying opposite things about preaching, but they are also saying the same thing. We chatted in the sanctuary of his church building in St. Paul. We also video taped the conversation and are going to try and do something with it.
If you have not yet picked up his book you should.
The conversation lasts 31 minutes.

This will be the final chapter upload for a while (I might post chapter 11 the week the book releases).
Chapter 3 of A Christianity Worth Believing - From Amen to Uh Oh is where the tention starts to build. It is just minutes into my Christian
experience that I realize something funny with the approach to presenting Christianity with a generic presentation. This chapter becomes an important hinge in the book as it introduces the idea that our faith ought to always be changing, seeking and growing.
Here is Chapter 3 From Amen to Uh Oh
The reading is chapter 2 and 3 together.

Here is chapter 2 - All the chapter write-ups and downloads when available (plans for downloads of chapters 1-3 and 11) can be found on the ACWB page.
Brief background on Chapter 2 – “Passion Play” – centers on my introduction into Christianity. This is the section where you meet my family, learn about the Village and realize that while not being in on the Christian story yet God was alive and moving in me. It tells of my start into the faith. I suggest reading chapter 3 right after 2, they make a nice combo.

I received this link the other day and just watched it.
It is really great. It is by Jill Bolte Taylor - she is a brain scientist.
TED Talks are billed as Ideas Worth Spreading - I think this on certainly is.
You can download it or watch it in full size from here.

This link will take you to a podcast of a conversation I did with Bill Leonard (Wake Forest Univeristy) and Tim Conder (The Emmaus Way Community).
The podcast is done by Homebrewed Christianity (Tripp and Chad) so you will have to put up with their ramblings for a bit, but it might be worth the listen. (Actually if it is the case then that might say more about your options in life than the material). But Bill is certainly worth listening to.

Mark and I sat together and chatted for a half an hour about life, the Church Basement Roadshow, kids and our stellar wives.
