I'm having a great time in the Chicago Plunge class with Ray Bakke and Coach Wayne Gordon this week. We've encountered about 20 churches of all traditions, sizes and languages, had insightful presentations and Q&A's with people like Stephanie Neely (City Treasurer), Robert Steele (Cook County commissioner), Vance Henry (director of the CAPS program), Glen Kehrein (Circle Urban Ministries), Dr. Marshall Hatch (pastor of Mt. Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church), and the singing of the men's choir of Hope House (ministry of Lawndale Community Church).
The days are long and filled with lots of note-taking, but the learning is exactly how I would design a class. Lots of field experience, dialogue and hearing the best practices and experiences of experts from their very own place in the world. Tactile learning is what Glen Kehrein called it today.
