2013 Legislative Seminar

North Carolina Council of Churches · April 12, 2013 · Leave a Comment

screenshot-61

We are grateful to all who attended the 2013 Legislative Seminar. It was a wonderful day, graciously hosted by St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Raleigh. From the powerful and prophetic speakers to the opportunity for 200 faithful advocates for social justice to be together, we appreciate your participation.

Over the next several weeks, we will be posting podcasts, videos, pictures and resources from the Legislative Seminar as many of you who took part had requested. May you continue to be reinvigorated by the messages of that day, and may all who couldn’t join us find inspiration and information, as well.

-George Reed, Executive Director
