Hello All! So I quickly noticed that I brought the wrong adapter for my computer outlet, so I can’t get on my laptop to post!Instead I have to try to garner some quick time in the hotel’s 2 open computers. Ouch! Needless to say then, I won’t be blogging that much (if at all through the trip). Thus far I have:

Spoken twice:once to a group of church leaders in Eastbourne, England and once to the directors of the largest Christian conference in Europe (Spring Harvest). I also went down to Brighton, England, which is called the GLBT capitol of the UK. I interviewed quite a few people there, so you’ll be seeing those interviews on videos that I post when I get back. The landscape out here is very different, but in some ways eerily similar. I’m looking forward to explaining further.

From here on out I will be:

Speaking to a gay group in Scotland, speaking to a large group of Christian influencers in London (see post below), speaking to the directors of the 2 largest gay Christian groups in the UK, speaking to the youth director for the Diocese of London, and then having one day of fun being a tourist.

But don’t fear, I am:

Taking great notes

Taking great pictures

Taking great videos

so I’ll be able to document everything accurately when I return.

Please feel free to continue your ongoing conversations, and I am looking forward to getting back in the swing of things again next week.

Much love.

I’m am sooooo sorry that there will be no Live Chat today. I just realized that my flight to the United Kingdom tomorrow departs at 6am. That means I need to be at the airport at 4am, which means I have to leave my place at 3am (good old Chicago Public Transportation – takes an hour to get anywhere). I’m going to need those extra 2 hours of the Live Chat this afternoon to keep finishing everything that is due before I leave for this first leg of a UK tour of my work and book. The first 2 Live Chats have gone awesome: lots of people and lots of diverging viewpoints and questions! I’m looking forward to the next one on September 22nd from 3-5pm CST. Much love! (PS – I will continue blogging on my UK trip).

**Sorry if you clicked on the site to listen live and I wasn’t on the program! I totally got the day wrong for the interview!!! Oops. I feel like an idiot. Although, I’m sure if you listened you did enjoy John and Susan! I’ll fill you in when the new date is scheduled again.

Today at 3:40pm CST I’ll be a guest on the John Hall Show on WORD-FM 101.5 in Pittsburgh. You can listen live on line by clicking here.

Much love.
