Just a reminder for those folks out there who believe being a Christian means walking with and supporting efforts to bring justice, equality, and compassion into our society, Ecumenical Advocacy Days is this weekend. I’ve gone two years in a row, and I will miss it if Eunice and I move away from DC. It’s just a great opportunity to be a part of the emerging conversations about advocacy and what churches, organizations, and Christians are lifting up.
You can find out about the event here: http://www.advocacydays.org/
In addition, the Disciples and UCC are having a combined event:
On Saturday, March 8th, at 7.45 pm, at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, VA (in the Arbors Room), there will be a special event for Disciples and UCC from across the nation. The main speaker will be Dr. Michael Kinnamon, General Secretary of the National Council of Churches. Other speakers include: Rev. Michael Paige from Michigan Park and Rev. Noemi Mena from National City. All local Disciples and UCC are invited to this free event. Light food and drink will be provided. An offering will be taken. Please RSVP to DAWN at dawnccca@comcast.net.
This special event is part of the annual Ecumenical Advocacy Days for Peace with Justice (March 7 - 10, 2008). To register for this conference and/or to get directions to the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, please visit www.advocacydays.org. Help spread the word!
I’d love to see you out, but if you can’t or if you are on the other side of the continent, I’ll probably do another podcast of the event, maybe even some video.
