The Jubilee Global Mission Committee's "Global Mission Summit," to take place on Saturday, April 21, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston, will be "an opportunity to step back, share what we each see as the big picture, and explore the role that God plays in our relationship-building efforts as we live into our role as Christians, loving our neighbors as ourselves," according to organizers. "During the course of the day, we will explore God's expectations of our partnerships in a number of different contexts and share our own experiences of best practices as partners of God."
Whether new to mission engagement or experienced, participants will hear from thought-provoking speakers, take part in interactive workshops, have time for networking and participate in a joyous international celebration of the Eucharist.
Scheduled speakers include the Rev. Canon Petero A. N. Sabune, the re-entry chaplain and director of the master's degree program at Sing Sing, the maximum-security prison in Ossining, N.Y., and former Africa partnership officer for the Episcopal Church; and the Rev. Dr. Christopher Duraisingh, former Episcopal Divinity School faculty member and director of the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism of the World Council of Churches.
The event will offer workshops on global mission topics ranging from mission formation and discernment to models of mission, relationship building, mutuality and social justice--all from the dual perspective of the theological and the practical.
All are welcome.
