Many of you may have already seen this, but wanted to post it here in case you haven't. I understand the tough situation that Willow and Leadership Summit had to manage last week regarding a late cancellation of one of their speakers. Bill explained the situation and talked about how best to respond, both as Christians as well as Leaders.

His explanation was graceful, honest and appropriate. While it was unfortunate that Howard Schultz had to cancel, what could have been a really awkward and unproductive moment turned into a chance to be the Church.

I'm proud to count Willow Creek Community Church, the Willow Creek Association, and the Leadership Summit as partners and co-laborers with us at Catalyst. We will be there on November 17 at Willow Creek for our Catalyst One Day event featuring Andy Stanley, Craig Groeschel, and Bill Hybels. You won't want to miss it.
