People involved in campus ministries in the dioceses of Colorado and Montana took part in engaging and diverse worship, and challenging and enlightening discussions about social justice and the Millennium Development Goals.

Their time together developed relationships and bonds that stretch beyond and across dioceses. The fellowship enjoyed by the participants was a blessing, as old friends were reunited and new friendships were formed. All hearts were touched, and all walked away with a fuller understanding of the mission of the Church.

Joined by Darryl Choate, a Montana Episcopalian engaged in providing clean water to Honduras through Episcopal and Rotary missions, the students were pushed to engage with and consider the importance of providing clean water to third world countries, and how this endeavor relates to the Millennium Development Goals.

The Rev. Douglas Fenton, Episcopal Church staff officer for young adult and higher education, encouraged the students to consider donating their money and time to mission work in third world countries. Fenton recently traveled to El Salvador to meet with young adults participating in the Young Adult Service Corps and to Honduras to celebrate the start of two new campus ministries there.
