to summit on issues that matter to you.
This year’s summit theme is “Bridging the Divides: Faith, Party and Privilege.” Join us to explore how we can better connect, understand each other, and work together for a more just and sustainable world. As our morning begins, Rev. Bruce Bode and Rev. Florence Caplow help us understand and reach beyond these divides, so we can better work for justice with those not like ourselves. Poetic Justice Theatre Ensemble then takes center stage (literally) to invite our personal stories and stimulate dialogue and deeper understanding of the divides we face in our justice work and that we strive to bridge in the world around us.
During Saturday’s afternoon breakout sessions, participants will gather in issue-oriented groups to share knowledge, wrestle with challenges, forge connections and refine plans. Ever present in our sessions will be a deeper awareness of how we manage and overcome our many divides to effect more powerful justice work.
Don’t wait. Register now to launch a year in which each of us can do more, more easily, and to greater effect because we spent a day connecting, learning, teaching, supporting and working together.
