A Harvest of Wholeness....

Café Discussion

Disciples of the 2009 General Assembly gathered in three-hour-long, face-to-face conversations to consider our distinctive identity and ministry in the 21st Century. Focusing on how to be "A Movement for Wholeness in a Fragmented World," participants addressed these topics: "Partner in Mission," "Do Justice," "Practice Hospitality," "Make Disciples," and "Let the Children Come."

You are invited to continue the churchwide conversation in these pages. Read or share simple comments, or stories about your congregation's meaningful conversations and subsequent action in mission. Send members to this page to explore and participate in the whole church's conversation.
