So Pete and I got an email at work last Friday telling us about a free conference on social change that was taking place at the international conference center just down the road from WHO. So we headed over there Saturday morning to see what all the hoopla was about and caught the keynote speaker for the day: Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He spoke about how to effectively resolve conflicts and pulled from some of his vast experiences in Ireland, Palestine, South Africa, and quite a few more places. The rest of the conference was alright. They showed a bunch of documentaries, some really cool, some not so much, but the Archbishop was definitely the highlight of the weekend!

That's way cool! Once when I was in London, I wanted to go to St. Paul's service and it just so happened that he was the speaker that day. It was pretty awesome!
