A friendly reminder that the *registration deadline* for the Sept. 17-19th 
ecumenical environmental conference by MECCE is this Friday, Aug. 20th 
(though I can take registrations over the phone until probably Aug. 27th).

MECCE is the Michigan Ecumenical Consultation on Christianity and Ecology; 
this will be our fifth statewide eco-conference exploring the connections 
between religious faith and caring for the earth ....

It's called "Finding our Way, Finding our Voice" and features two guest 
presenters :  Dr. Larry Rasmussen (author, "Earth Community, Earth Ethics") 
and Rev. Barbara Rossing (Asst. Prof of New Testament, Lutheran School of 
Theology at Chicago - Rev. Rossing has a very illuminating and uplifting 
message about "the eco-justice vision of the New Testament" ...particularly 
from the book of Revelation ...and you thought it was all doom and gloom!)    
:-) 

The conference will also have workshops / forums, time for networking / 
fellowship, previewing some choice eco-theological videos, browsing a 
conference bookstore (with a large variety of titles), ecumenical worship, 
and nightly campfires.

The cost to attend varies, depending on type of lodging chosen (lodge, 
camping, or nearby motel) and whether the participant is a student, or child 
aged 3 - 18.    Cost ranges :  $60 - $120, includes 5 meals. 
Oops, almost forgot to mention the location!   YMCA's Storer Camps south of 
Lansing and near Jackson.

I expect it will be an empowering and Spirit-filled event.  Please contact me 
asap if you're interested and / or would like a registration brochure.
