Save the Date! The Future of Faith: New Prayers for a New World (Jan 26-27, 2024)
Why should we pray? How shall we pray? And does prayer do any good? As people of faith longing for a just world, these are some of the questions we will explore at our annual winter conference in San Francisco on January 26-27, 2024.
Join us for a rich, creative, and restorative time of imagining and uttering new prayers to step faithfully into the future. We are thrilled to have Cole Arthur Riley (writer, liturgist) as our keynote speaker, talking about her upcoming book, Black Liturgies: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Staying Human (anticipated January 16, 2024). And Kinship Commons will be leading our times of worship and prayer. More speakers will be announced soon.
Registration will open in early November, with options for both in-person and virtual participation. We hope to see you on January 26-27, 2024, in San Francisco!
