On March 7-10, we will gather for the sixth annual Ecumenical Advocacy Days conference. Our theme, "2008: Claiming A Vision of True Security" promises to inspire an expected gathering of more than 1,000 religious advocates from a wide array of Christian communions.
Experts will train participants how to do advocacy and inform them of U.S. domestic and international policies that focus on a movement toward a new vision of true human security: one that seeks not only the absence of tension, but the presence of justice (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.). The 2008 Ecumenical Advocacy Days will culminate with lobby visits on Monday calling upon our government to conceive new visions of security in our homes, our neighborhoods and our world. |
