Faith and Global Justice Seminar

I was on fieldwork for 10 days in the Seattle and Portland area.  One of the events I attended was a seminar sponsored by Bread for the World focused on the Millennium Development Goals.  It was held at Seattle University and fabulously attended with over 500 people including lots of students from Washington and Oregon!  Rev. Mpho Tutu (daugther of Archbiship Tutu) and Rick Steves both spoke.  Holly has already summed up this event really well at her blog, check out Hunger for Justice to read more about the event and what the speakers shared with us.

I'm also attaching a wonderful resource created for this event.  It highlights each Millennium Development Goal and provides a Biblical vesre to connect to it.  I like it a lot, so I hope you too find it useful!  Download connecting_the_millennium_development_goals_to_faith.doc
