Here is a list of key world wide leaders. I use world wide hesitantly, most are wealthy US mega-church or para-church leaders with strong religious right leanings. NAR leadership has been embraced like white on rice.

The Empowered21 Global Council attendees at this initial meeting include co-chairs Jack Hayford (Jack Hayford Ministries, USA) and Billy Wilson (International Center For Spiritual Renewal, USA), Charles Blake (Church of God In Christ, USA), Isak Burger (Apostolic Faith Mission, South Africa), Doug Anderson (representing Dr. Glenn Burris, Jr., Intl. Church of The Foursquare Gospel, USA), Gordon McDonald (representing Rick Ciaramitaro, Windsor Christian Fellowship, Canada), Daniel de León (Templo Calvario, USA), Chady El Aouad (Abundant Life Church and Ministries, Lebanon), Ingolf Ellssel (Pentecostal European Fellowship, Germany), Claudio Freidzon (King of Kings Church, Argentina), Jonas Gonzalez (Enlace TV, USA), Mart Green (Oral Roberts University Board of Trustees, USA), Prince Guneratnam (Calvary Church, Malaysia), Wayne Hilsden (King of Kings Community Jerusalem, Jerusalem), Al Hollingsworth (BOSS Global, Inc., USA), Cindy Jacobs (Generals International, USA), Dennis Lindsay (Christ For The Nations, USA), Ron Luce (Teen Mania, USA), Niko Njotorahardjo (Gereja Bethel Indonesia, Indonesia), Bob Canton (representing Oreste Pesare, Intl. Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services, Vatican City), Samuel Rodriguez (National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, USA), Vinson Synan (Regent University, USA), Matthew Thomas (Central India Outreach, India) and David Wells (Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, Canada). Absent because of weather conditions were Raymond Culpepper and Alton Garrison.

The Canadians who comprise denominational and independent faith groups are using classic revival and inside language which has been part of the movement since it's inception.  As you can see from the list above, NAR (New Apostolic Reformation/neo-charismatic) leaders are no longer on the sidelines and are included in this organizational leadership push.  Here is what the Canadian leadership have to say:

Billy Wilson, Executive Director for the International Center for Spiritual Renewal and Empowered21 and Chair of the E21 USA cabinet, said, "Empowered21 Canada is an exciting initiative to connect Pentecostal and Charismatic leaders across the nation together for the future.

Some of the purposes of Empowered21 Canada will be to unite the Spirit-filled movement across Canada in an intergenerational gathering for the purpose of seeking a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the 21^st Century. They also desire to provide a platform for addressing the critical issues facing the Spirit-empowered church in Canada in the 21^st Century and discover contemporary methods, vocabulary and ministry grace needed for engaging new generations in Spirit-empowered living. They will focus on the energy and resources of the Spirit-empowered Canadian church, on the harvest and challenges before them with a desire to witness greater convergence and collaboration of Spirit-empowered ministries across Canada.

Hollywood stars, pop icons and television personalities entering the complicated realm of global food politics are not merely being welcomed with open arms by some of the world's most respected - and increasingly overstretched - food aid organizations, they're being recruited to help build awareness at a critical juncture.

Commodity prices are at their highest real-term levels in decades, food riots are erupting regularly around the world; markets are ever-volatile as is the climate, which has been hammering agriculture yields and drying up the water supply. Those forces continue to inflate the question of how there will ever be enough food to feed the people already on this planet and the nine billion who are forecast to populate it by mid-decade.

What can big-name personalities do about all of that? Some food security theorists argue policymakers and corporations alone aren't capable of catalyzing the masses of people needed to restructure the global food juggernaut.

"We have to change the eating habits of 10 or 11 billion human beings by the mid-century. We need to double food production, but there are going to be less resources to do so," said Julian Cribb, an Australian science writer and author of The Coming Famine: The Global Food Crisis and What We Can Do To Avoid It. "That means every single person is going to feel the consequences of that, either in massive increases in food prices, conflict, government failure or refugee crises if we don't solve the problem," he said, adding: "Prominent people can show leadership . they can actually make what needs to be done fashionable."

"We don't have an advertising budget," said Bettina Luescher, a spokeswoman for the WFP. "We're the guys with the dirty fingernails who really work deep in the field in the most dangerous and difficult places on Earth. In the last couple of years we've branched out more . to find ambassadors who can shine the spotlight on our work," she said.

"When used effectively, celebrities can be catalytic to an issue. they can take an issue that is otherwise ignored and neglected and put it front and centre in the public eye," said Trevor Neilson, co-founder of the U.S.-based Global Philanthropy Group, which is a sort of matchmaking consultancy that connects famous and non-famous philanthropists with worthy causes. Although most of his clients are non-celebrities, the roster includes Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Ben Stiller and, at one point, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Benedict XVI's visit last September gave renewed energy to the Church in Britain. Even before the Pope left, Cardinal Keith O'Brien was talking about the "Benedict bounce". In this week's Catholic Herald, Paschal Uche, who addressed the Pope on behalf of young people outside Westminster Cathedral, says the visit continues to inspire him "on a daily basis".

On the other hand, little has been done to harness this legacy on a national level. A papal visit legacy programme was released in January, but it doesn't ask Catholics to do much - apart from share a "resource" or send in a "faith testimony" to the home mission desk of the bishops' conference - until June, when it suggests Blessed Sacrament processions as close as possible to the feast of Corpus Christi.

Individual bishops, however, seem to be energised, especially in urging Catholics to return to traditional practices such as Confession and the Friday Fast.

And anyway, the laity don't need to wait for the bishops. Paschal Uche cites Youth 2000, which promotes Eucharistic Adoration, as a way to live out the fruits of the visit.

So, six months on, has the momentum generated by the Pope's visit been lost? Or has it left a lasting legacy?
