Join over one hundred Episcopalians from across the church who will gather to learn about how the Scriptures, Baptismal Covenant, and our faith compel us to give voice to those most vulnerable in our nation: children, youth, and families. Through worship, workshops, and learning in community, we will focus on health, education and juvenile justice and what we can do to advocate for children and their families both in Washington and at home, “seeking and serving Christ in all persons.”
