Wow! What an amazing opportunity.
I'll happily drive the two hours it takes me to get there to be a part of this presentation. John McKnight is a fabulous storyteller and revolutionary thinker. He gets to to the heart of real community and what we can do to help make it happen. John is also the author of The Careless Society: Community and Its Counterfeits. http://www.northwestern.edu/ipr/publications/community/careless.html
