An Ecumenical Experience for Young Adults

of the Education and Leadership Ministries Commission

The next meeting of the General Assembly of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCCC) and Church World Service and Witness (CWSW) will be held Tuesday, November 9, through Thursday, November 11, 2004, at the Sheraton City Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

The National Council of Churches is a community through which churches make visible their unity given in Christ and live responsibly in witness and service.  The General Assembly is the annual gathering of more than 250 delegates from the thirty-six (36) member communions for legislation, worship, fellowship, and ecumenical sharing.

The Stewards Program, November 7-11, offers a unique opportunity for young adults, ages 18-30, to encounter one aspect of the ecumenical movement from the inside.  Ecumenical formation involves learning ecumenical theology and sharing the excitement and joy of worship and fellowship with others in the ecumenical movement.  NCCC/CWSW invites young adults to the General Assembly to serve in the background and to observe up close the deliberative work of ecumenism. 

YOU could be one of a group of young adults from across the country participating in the Assembly as stewards and benefit from the opportunity to: 

• Network with other young adults

• Discover particulars about different denominations

• Encounter a rich multicultural environment

• Worship in an ecumenical setting

• Experience the church at work, living its unity in Jesus Christ

•  Interact with national church leaders

Deadline for applications is August 2, 2004.
