Thursday and Friday at Cape Town 2010 have thus far included some memorable ideas, facts, and quotes:

And then, a number of quotes from Christopher Wright in what will surely go down as a seminal address at Cape Town 2010 in an address on restoring humility, integrity, and simplicity to the church:
