2009 Peacemaking Conference — Part of the Big Tent
And the Word Became Flesh — Peacemaking in the Neighborhood
June 11—13, 2009
Atlanta, Georgia
“And the Word Became Flesh — Peacemaking in the Neighborhood.” Jesus calls and empowers us to make peace with our neighbors around the corner and across God’s world. Peacemaking Conference participants will have the opportunity to visit significant sites in metropolitan Atlanta where peacemaking is taking place, share stories from our own neighborhoods, and engage in public witness, small group discussions and conversations on current issues as we explore how to do justice and seek peace.
About the Big Tent
The Presbyterian Peacemaking Conference will be part of a first of a kind celebration that will offer participants the opportunity to experience 10 different Presbyterian conferences — all under one roof — over a three-day period. The Big Tent allows “common time” for participants to attend workshops that might be outside their core interest or affiliation. Vibrant worship, blessed meals and an uplifting Saturday night celebration will also be times the Presbyterian family will come together as one. Conference partners include New Immigrants Consultation, National Multicultural Church Conference, National Elders Conference, Committee on Ministry/Committee on Preparation for Ministry Consultation, Racial Ethnic Convocation, Stewardship Conference, Communicators Network, Peacemaking Conference, Biennial Social Justice Conference and the Evangelism and Church Growth Conference.
