Hi Carl,
It told me that this video is no longer available–I really want to watch. I’ve been keeping up with this, and particularly how faith-based groups of various stripes are responding. House churches are in on the action, as well as the emerging church conversation. Hopefully we can speak a peaceful, healing word amidst the strife…

Not sure what’s going on, Michael, I tried it just now and it played for me just fine. Maybe the Youtube gremlins were attacking you. Here’s the URL of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41izXAzzflo
