Travel seminar to Brazil will visit Brethren churches.

A travel seminar to Brazil has been announced by the Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership, in cooperation with the Global Mission Partnerships of the Church of the Brethren General Board and Bethany Theological Seminary. The trip will visit Igreja da Irmandade (Church of the Brethren in Brazil), from May 17-June 2, 2007. Registration and down payment are due by Jan. 31, 2007.

The seminar is open to interested church members as well as Bethany and academy students. Leaders are Jonathan Shively, director of the Brethren Academy; Marcos and Sueli Inhauser, national directors of Igreja da Irmandade; and Brethren Volunteer Service workers who are beginning assignments in Brazil. Participants will visit each church development site in Brazil and engage in learning and reflection on what it means to be Anabaptists and Pietists planting churches and ministering in a diverse and largely secularized world.
