Do our perceptions of the world still work when it comes to the church, or are we still using outdated "maps" to guide us? Do our churches' views on racism, sexism, sexuality, politics and culture in general still have relevance, or do we need to revisit and renew these topics in order to relate to an everchanging world? All young adults are invited to come together and discuss these topics and more of this at the first ever Disciples Young Adult Conference this Fall in Las Vegas, NV.
Registration will be $125 until September 3, 2010 (this friday) after that the price will change.
Click here to register for the conference. A new window will open to the registration process.
