CCDA 2014 Day 2

CCDA Immersion alumni met for breakfast today. This is a few from our great crew that spent a week together in Chicago in April 2011.  

Coach Wayne Gordon and John Perkins are tag teaming on the morning Bible studies this week.  Talking to us about being Christ's Church as we look at the churches addressed in Revelation.

Barbara Williams-Skinner facilitated a panel of practitioners in a discussion about indigenous leadership development.  Important and challenging conversation.  

I went on this "Go and See" field trip to a new mixed-income development modeled after East Lake in Atlanta.  

 Columbia Parc is 53 acres, 685 units of housing...1/3 public housing, 1/3 low income, and 1/3 market rate rentals.  

This development at Columbia Parc was very well thought out in the planning!  A great story of redemption in Post-Katrina New Orleans!  

Merrsadiz is our group's youngest participant.  When Leroy Barber spoke a challenge of commitment last night for young people to go back into their communities as servant leaders, he called people to come up front if they wished to commit.  Merrsadiz rose to the challenge!  Yay!  

Pizza at Roloco's around the corner from the hotel.
