Featured this year is Lisa Sharon Harper, Chief Church Engagement Officer for Sojourners*, who will speak on Peace, Poverty and Race as part of their 'Uncommon Tour', which addresses how to use your faith to tackle injustices.These events will both be held at Glen Avon Presbyterian Church.
Sessions will continue on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 with 'Faith in Action Mobilization Training' and 'The Budget and Your Neighbor'.
*"Sojourners are Christians who follow Jesus, but who also sojourn with others in different faith traditions and all those who are on a spiritual journey. We are evangelicals, Catholics, Pentecos tals, and Protestants; progressives and conservatives; blacks, whites, Latinos, and Asians; women and men; young and old. We reach
into traditional churches but also out to those who can't fit into them. Together we seek to discover the intersection of faith, politics, and culture. We invite you to join, to connect, and to act."
