What Are You Doing—For God’s Sake?
After a highly successful conference in 2009, The Archbishop will return to St. Mark’s in early November, to lead a symposium on Shared Abundance.
What are you doing for God’s sake? This is the challenge that will be laid out before us. Unlearning the misconceptions of Stewardship and answering the questions, “What does the Bible say?” and “Whose mission is it?”
Finally, we will consider the concept of “year round sharing” through this interactive think-in! Members of the conference committee, who have met with the Archbishop in preparation for this event, believe that this conference experience will be a “game changer” in your life and your parish.
