  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 [...]

  This past weekend, I had a lot of fun with a bunch of fellow young adults at our annual Young Adult Conference in the Capital Area. The questions that came up were deep and difficult, and yet we had fun too and got some sun. Still, for someone who cares deeply about our denomination and [...]

  Will you be a witness?

  What’s the theme of Ecumenical Advocacy Days this year?
  Children. As a community of Christians from many places and many situations and many viewpoints, we are taking time to look at where the children are in our world as a standard to hold our way of life by. Children are some of the most vulnerable members [...]

  Last year, I was so busy that I didn’t get to do much for Advocacy Days. Plus, I was sick. I was there off and on, taking part in what I could. This year, I’m going to try to pay my own way and do more. I’m planning on not being sick. But on to [...]
