2008 Ecumenical Advocacy Days Conference
We are pleased to announce the theme for the 2008 Ecumenical Advocacy Days being held March 7 - 10, 2008:
2008: Claiming a Vision of True Security
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but our trust in the name of our God." - Psalm 20:7 (New King James Bible)
"Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God." - Psalm 20:7 (NRSV)
In the language of today, Psalm 20:7 might read: Some trust in violence and take pride in technologies of war, and some in military power, but our trust is in the unfailing love and faithfulness of our saving God.
It is time to move beyond the misdirected strategies of the past few years and envision a new pathway to true human security - one which seeks not only the absence of tension, but the presence of justice (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.). The 2008 Ecumenical Advocacy Days assembly will explore new visions of security in our homes, our neighborhoods and our world.
The conference will be held at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center.
