AmP pictured, called, and written-up

Last Thursday and Friday I was attending (and presenting at) the 12 annual Catholic Leadership Conference in Orlando. It was extremely fruitful.

Highlights include meeting Fr. Dwight Longenecker of the excellent, excellent blog Standing on My Head (new assignment: read everything Fr. Longenecker has written, beginning with his poetry). Fr. Dwight managed to snap a rare foto of AmP. I was also graced with meeting Deacon Keith Fournier, whom I have often quoted on these pages.

I think my presentation on "Catholic Blogging: Finding Common Ground Online" (which I co-presented with Josh Mercer, the communications director for CatholicVote.org) was well received. Deal Hudson live-blogged some of the main points I made in it.

I also appeared for an hour on the Drew Mariani Show, calling-in to his end-of-the-week round table with Jeff Gardner, CEO of Catholic Radio International, on a wide variety of subjects, and taking calls too. You can listen to the show on the Relevant Radio website here (or download it as an MP3 here).

More important things happening this week - updates to follow!
