Enough for All Creation

"The Thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."  John 10:10

Please be join us as we gather for the seventh annual Ecumenical Advocacy Days March 13-16, 2009.  In 2009 Ecumenical Advocacy Days can have an even greater impact.  We will have a new President and new Congress.  Historically, this first term of any President is a period ripe for change - a time in which we can have the most influence.  We know that Ecumenical Advocacy Days is making a difference in our world; and we want to make an even greater difference in 2009.

Ecumenical Advocacy Days

The 7th Annual Ecumenical Advocacy Days

We live in an increasingly interconnected world and have an enormous impact on each other and creation. As the earth's temperature rises we see a strain on resources. Food, while plentiful for some, is desperately scarce for others. Lack of clean water makes children sick and burdens women. Global warming and growing resource deprivation forces some people to migrate and others to wage war over food, water and oil. Our increasingly co-dependent economies lift a few individuals up to great heights while keeping others living lives of destitution.
 
Join us at the 7th annual Ecumenical Advocacy Days, as we explore ways to bring about a world with Enough for All Creation. Learn about the connections between climate change, migration and poverty in the U.S. and around the world. Come together with faith-based advocates and activists from across the United States in the nation's capitol March 13-16 as we discuss the abundance of our world and how it can be allocated in a way that is fair and just for all creation.
