Dr. Jia Starr Brown and have small group conversations. We will break for lunch and then beginning at 1:00pm we will gather on Zoom with the other synods for discussion time and Q&A time with Dr. Brown. We expect two hours for the afternoon session. \nTo receive credit\, you are expected to attend both the morning and afternoon sessions.

SUMMARY:Public Witness Team meeting
DESCRIPTION:Welcome! We are the Public Witness Team for Peace and Justice of the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana (NT-NL) Synod of the ELCA. We meet on the second Saturday of most months. Our mission is to give public witness to issues of justice and peace in the synod and in the community\, and this includes both education and advocacy. One of our goals is to assist congregations in the NT-NL Synod in their efforts to be a public church within their own communities. \nOur meeting will be on November 15 fully on Zoom.
