Here is the God- Down and In Video
There are a number of chapter in the book about moving from a view of God being “up in heaven” to understanding God as down and in, with us. In many ways this is the heart of the book - Christianity as participating with God.
Not to be to pointed, but if you like the video, try the book. If you don’t like the video then give the book a try maybe you will like that.

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.

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.
