Episcopalians will gather at biannual conference entitled: Enough for All: Sustainable Living in a Global World
June 20-23, 2003. Seattle University, Seattle, Washington

Sustainable Living in Global World

How do we live sustainably in a world that is moving towards a single global economy built on free market capitalism and free trade? How can we build a human economy that is environmentally sustainable, just, and honors all of God's creation?

Discover a spectrum of individual, congregational, and societal actions that can create a healthier, more just, and environmentally sustainable world. Join us for thought-provoking presentations, interactive workshops, inspirational worship services, theological anchor presentations, and opportunities for fellowship. This biennial gathering of the ecumenical community is open to denominational and communion staff, clergy and lay leaders, youth and young adults, theological educators, and anyone interested in learning how the Christian community - including Orthodox and Protestant - can take a leadership role in addressing issues of social justice and environmental sustainability.

Hear a diversity of voices. Speakers for this year's conference include Sally McFague, Damu Smith, and Dr. David Korten. Other speakers include local tribal members, Orthodox clergy, young adult and youth leaders, and local activists.

Workshops and poster sessions will address one of the five conference strands:

Globalization
Lifestyle/consumption
Congregational ministries models
People of color/indigenous peoples
Biodiversity of the Northwest

Both youth and young adult strands are available. The conference will begin with dinner on Friday, June 20, and end midmorning on Monday, June 23. Communion/denomination pre-conference events begin Friday at 1 pm. Both the young adult and youth strands begin Friday at 1 pm. Post-conference field trips will be held on Monday. Contact us for more information about pre- and post-conference events.

Enough for All: Sustainable Living in a Global World is sponsored by the National Council of Churches' Eco-Justice Working Group, Earth Ministry, Seattle University's School of Theology and Ministry, and the Washington Association of Churches.
