I spent this past weekend in Charlotte, NC with Brian McLaren and his Everything Must Change tour. I always enjoy my time out of the office, because I meet great people and make great new friends.
This was my first time to Charlotte, NC and it proved to be a very eventful trip, including a wild taxi ride across the city and a SERIOUSLY delayed train that caused me to miss a meeting in DC. But, with that aside, Charlotte is a great city. I was particularly impressed with Area Fifteen - a wonderful prayer and arts community - that helped host the McLaren event.
One of my new friends from Charlotte is Melvin Bray. He describes himself as a learner, teacher, writer, storyteller, lover of people, connoisseur of creativity and believer in possibilities. A man after my own heart. Melvin recently interviewed Brian McLaren in response to a critical article in Christianity Today by John Wilson of Books and Culture. The CT article and Brian's response on Melvin's blog are both worth reading.
