[Episcopal News Service] Opportunities for continuing education, fresh ideas for ministry, and networking to expand the vision for mission in the new millennium are the backdrop for the 2007 Conference of the North American Association for the Diaconate NAAD.
The NAAD is an organization in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada that promotes renewal of the diaconate, supports deacons and dioceses with deacons, and engages in theological dialogue about diakonia.
“Being There: Mission for a New Millennium” is set for June 21-24 on the campus of Seattle University in Seattle, Washington. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will deliver the keynote address on June 22.
Karen McCarthy Casey, founder of “Inspired Action,” will facilitate the first workshop, “Café of Hope Continuum,” which will immediately follow Jefferts Schoris message and begin a conversation designed to access deeper wisdom, build on shared knowledge, and expand on collective capacities to serve churches and communities.
