I’ve become to appreciate the voice and posture of Dr Cornel West more and more in recent years.
He recently shared his thoughts on the assassination of Osama bin Laden with his co-host Tavis Smiley on their radio program.
Powerful words that challenge our thoughts of love, justice and retribution.

On this Christmas we remember….
Light came into the world and said,
“I will crush your darkness.â€
Justice came into the world and said,
“I will proclaim your freedom.â€
Peace came into the world and said,
“I will turn your conflict.â€
The Word came into the world and said,
“I will call your name.â€
Love came into the world and said,
“I will share your life, always.â€
Amen

I missed a couple sessions since my last post but thought I’d pass along a few notes before the closing session.
Several people have also been live blogging the event and I’ll try and track down their blogs to pass along their notes as well.
I wrote about The Idea Camp a while back. I had hoped to have a local viewing party, but it never quite panned out. Instead I’m watching online physically by myself, but what seems like I’m right there with everyone thanks to technology.
Thanks to free online streaming and Twitter I’ve been watching and listening to a majority of the conversations taking place this weekend in DC. So far its been great.
I’ve been twittering my notes, so for those who haven’t been able to keep up, and for archival purpose, here are some of the notes I’ve taken through the pre-session and the first breakout session…
Hopefully these notes will spark creative ideas and innovation within your own groups.
