For the past week this blog has seemed to be all Chris Wright, all the time. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :-)
This post is no different - featuring an excerpt from an interview we shot with him midweek.
Chris is one of the more gracious and yet, one of the most prophetic leaders that Imbi and I have ever met. Though tired from a week of meetings and teaching in Toronto, Chris sat down with Imbi for a 45 minute interview that covered some of what he shared at Lausanne 2010 in Cape Town, as well as his thoughts on what the church needs to raise up leaders in the 21st Century.
In my not humble, but accurate opinion, this is more than worth five minutes of your time to watch.

Imbi and I would like to thank Barry Parker and George Sumner for helping to make this happen. Both Barry and George are on the Canadian Board of Langham Partnership. (Once again, we shot in George's office @ Wycliffe College.) We would also like to thank Barbara Jenkins, Director of Admissions @ Wycliffe, who has helped with arranging a number of interviews along with Karen Baker-Bigauskas, Assistant to the Principal, who simply makes things happen.
Chris Wright's books that are pertinent to this video: The Mission of God and The Mission of God's People.
