Hello everyone! Just back from today’s session at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit and I wanted to give a quick update. A full story will follow in the upcoming days on @U2, but for those who want the quick soundbyte as to what was covered, here you go!

If you caught any of Bono’s speeches at UPenn, Harvard, the National Prayer Breakfast, or any of the DATA-related speaking engagements, then you didn’t miss much. Speaking to a global audience of over 80,000 people simultaneously, Bono took the opportunity during his interview with the founder and Senior Pastor of Willow Creek Community Church outside of Chicago to challenge christian church leaders to take up the cause for Africa.

The interview was recorded a few weeks ago at a hotel near Bono’s home in Dublin.

The one thing I’d like to comment on is how awesome it was to 1) enjoy U2’s music in a church setting, 2) watch the audience’s reaction to things U2 fans have heard millions of times (Bono drinking game anyone?), and 3) hear Bono state “I am not Mother Teresa” and realize I wasn’t the only one laughing. (OK - maybe that’s 3 things to comment on.)

More soon….
