Crumbs from the Table?

Crumbs from the Table?
Originally uploaded by christianscharen.

I'll be posting various notes here about our upcoming conference on wealth and poverty. We of course invited Bono to come, with band members if possible, to sing "Crumbs." That was months ago, and a week or so ago I got an email from DATA in response.

" Hi Christian,
Thank you so much for offering the great opportunity for Bono to join your Sarah Smith Memorial Conference this year. Unfortunately, due to the rescheduling of the tour, his schedule has become unusually hectic. For this reason, he will be unable to join you in New Haven, September 21-22. I see you do have a fabulous line up of speakers though! We think highly of Tony Hall and Andrew Young.

In lieu of his absence, we would like to offer a special faith-based PSA, 6 min.,that has yet to be shown. We are only allowing limited audiences to view this PSA. If interested, let me know and I can send a copy for a private review. The permission would be for a one time usage at the conference.

Let me know if you’re interested in this opportunity and if it would be a fit in your conference.

All the best to you—
Jenny Eaton Dyer
National Faith Outreach Director

I have not yet seen the DVD but I'm curious what it is. By the way, if you missed the NBC News broadcasts with Brian Williams and Bono while in Africa, iTunes now has a free 30 minute broadcast available.
