Dear leaders, and especially all my sisters,
I want to invite you to join me for Breakthrough: The Women, Faith and Development Summit to End Global Poverty. The event will take place at the Washington National Cathedral on Sunday, April 13th, and speakers will include such luminaries as Bishop Desmond Tutu and Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. My good friend, Kathy Morrell (who worked with me on the Halifax Summit in Nov. 2006), is one of the “forces of nature” behind this event, and I think it will be a wonderful learning opportunity for all who are able to attend. (If you cannot make it for the morning, you can jump in for the afternoon sessions; the event should not conflict with our evening service.) This Summit is free and open to the public as long as you pre-register while spaces are still available. I encourage all those who are especially passionate about poverty and women’s issues to attend. Let me know if you have any questions!
Blessings,
Lisa
