Q Gathering 2012: Washington, DC
One of the highlights of 2011 for me was making the acquaintance of Gabe Lyons and all the good folks associated with Q: Ideas for the Common Good. The conversation has connected me with a wide network of leaders and innovators from various arenas of cultural production (politics, media, the arts, finance and commerce, education, science & technology, etc.). You can get a glimpse of what this is all about in Gabe’s latest book, The Next Christians: The Good News About the End of Christian America. In some ways, I read it as kind of an accessible, concrete rendition of James Davison Hunter’s landmark book, To Change the World. (I’m not sure how either James or Gabe would feel about that comparison, but that’s how the two books reverberate in the echo chamber of my mind.)
