The Office of Public Witness invites Brethren to the 12th Annual
Ecumenical Advocacy Days (EAD) that will take place in Washington, D.C.,
from on March 21-24. This year’s theme is “Jesus Weeps--Resisting
Violence, Building Peace.”
EAD is an ecumenical conference grounded in biblical witness and
shared traditions of justice and peace. EAD’s goal, through worship,
theological reflection, and opportunities for learning and witness, is
to strengthen our Christian voice and to mobilize for advocacy on US
policy issues.
This year’s theme particularly speaks to the Church of the Brethren’s
rich tradition of peacemaking in the world, so the Office of Public
Witness staff hope that Church of the Brethren members will join the
staff in Washington, D.C., for this exciting conference. For more
information and to register go to EAD’s website at www.advocacydays.org.
