Advocacy in Action

Justice. Freedom. God’s mission.
March 19-21, 2012

Join the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship on a three-day journey in Washington, D.C., to become a voice for the world’s poor and marginalized, to advocate for religious liberty, and to witness a local missional congregation in action. This event encourages dialogue with the leadership of CBF's Together for Hope, as well as with D.C.-based ministry partners, Bread for the World and the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, who will help participants explore the intersection of justice and God’s mission and build leadership capacity for guiding congregations to advocate for global and social issues.

An Additional Advocacy Experience: Later in the week, on March 23-26, 2012, participants are invited to consider continuing in their advocacy experience by participating in Ecumenical Advocacy Days, a movement of the ecumenical Christian community, and its recognized partners and allies, grounded in biblical witness and shared traditions of justice, peace and the integrity of creation. Through worship, theological reflection and opportunities for learning and witness, the Christian voice is strengthened and mobilized for advocacy on a wide variety of U.S. domestic and international policy issues. The 2012 Ecumenical Advocacy Days theme is "Is THIS the Fast I Seek? Economy, Livelihood and Our National Priorities."
