Earth Ministry Leadership Team Retreat

10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

RSVP Friday 7/18/03 info@irejn.org

I am happy to confirm our gathering of lay and clergy leaders/learners to a day of reflection at Mercy Center in Madison, Connecticut.

We'll have some reflection time at the Center, which boasts a beachfront and a labyrinth. Mercy Center runs a full summer silent retreat program, so we'll need to/be able to maintain silence in the outdoor spaces as we enjoy the morning.

The other activities for the day include lunch. Networking and a visioning conversation based on the World Watch Institute paper, Invoking the Spirit.

Invoking the Spirit offers five arenas that collectively constitute the unique religious connection to environmental work: cosmology, moral voice, human resources, communal connectivity and material resources. In our process, we'll be exploring our understanding, our strengths and needs in these areas.

IREJN will pay the fee to Mercy Center. Your hospitality fee of $25 can be sent or otherwise delivered to IREJN (address below) or simply give it to me that day. I need to give a final count on June 19th and registration is still open.

Arrangements have been made to cover for any colleagues that need to pay a lesser fee.
