Can’t wait for Blue 2015? On October 9th at 7pm DC will host a local forum on redeeming culture through Q Commons. This will be a national event taking place in over 60 cities throughout the U.S. The first 3 presentations will be simulcast to all cities, while the second half will be live for our local audience.

A Message from the event organizer, Gabe Lyons:
After years of planning and coordination, I’m excited to officially announce the launch of Q Commons– our new initiative to bring the Q national event experience to cities across the U.S. and around the globe.
On Thursday evening, October 9th join 10,000+ participants in 60+ cities as we gather to enjoy an evening of vision, learning and engagement. Alongside Tim Keller, Ann Voskamp and Andy Crouch leading off the evening with 3 nationally broadcasted talks, 3 locally curated Q Talks will be presented addressing cultural issues and topics that matter most in your city.
It’s not often we have the opportunity to come together with our neighbors, friends and colleagues to be educated and inspired to advance the common good in our very own community. I hope you’ll prioritize this on your calendar and join us.
