Our morning began with an interactive map where participants could drop a pin sharing where they were joining us from. This map isn’t complete yet, but we wanted to share this current view as a work in progress. Watch for a chance to add yourself to this map during tomorrow’s opening sessions.
Speakers today shared resources like Lisa Cressman’s downloadable PDF available with a sign-up at this link, a chart from Jana Childers’ session available here, and a poem from Sister Simone that you can view here.

The wide-ranging dialogue between Dr. Karoline Lewis and Bishop Yvette Flunder began with this declaration:
While Sister Simone inspired those participating with the Premium access:
