Triennial Gathering 2008
"Come to the Waters," July 10-13, 2008, Salt Lake City
The largest gathering of women in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America took place July 10-13 this past summer in Salt Lake City.
We celebrated the life-giving waters of our baptism and were renewed in our commitment to share God's living waters with others.
We were encouraged and challenged to come to a greater understanding of our faith and what it means to live it out our mission to act boldly on our faith in Jesus Christ.
Our featured speaker was Sister Joan Chittister, OSB. Our Bible study presenter was the Rev. Karen Bockelman, and preachers the Rev. Elizabeth Eaton, the Rev. Heidi Neumark, and the Rev. Marysol Diaz explored various dimensions of our theme.
