During the week of August 12 – 18 Jay Gregory, Jean Norris, and Brad Hestir will be attending the Together for Justice International Gathering of Joining Hands Activists from around the world. Representatives from a dozen presbyteries of PCUSA will be meeting with representatives of partner organizations from Bolivia, Peru, El Salvadore, Haiti, Cameroon, Lesotho, South Aftrica, Egypt, Palestine, Sri Lanka, and Southern India for inspiration and collaboration concerning mutual Environmental and Human Rights goals.
This is the third such gathering in the 12 year history of Joining Hands and members of Montclair Presbyterian Church have been at all of them. We expect to meet old friends, make new ones, work with an impressive lineup of workshop leaders and speakers and help forge the future directions for Joining Hands.
Joining Hands has been called the future of Mission for the Presbyterian Church and we would like you to be part of it. Bookmark this blog and check it out frequently. We will be posting frequently leading up to and during the Gathering. Following the gathering we will be visited by friends from out partner organization in Bolivia. You will want to know about that too and how you can meet them in person.
