--Micah 6:8

The Purpose of the 1999 National Seminar

The National Seminar is an opportunity for United Methodist Women from diverse backgrounds and age groups to meet on common ground to explore God's requirement in our lives. Acting on Micah 6:8--What does the Lord require of Us? To do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with [our] God-- The National Seminar will focus on:

our Biblical mandate for social action and understandings of God's will for our lives as we seek to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ in our local and global communities;
analyses of global issues currently affecting women, children and youth and positions of the church, governments and other organizational structures;
systematic approaches to faith-based organizing, action and advocacy;
ministries of justice and mercy, in which participants will actively listen, share and participate;
development of a support system for those committed to social action and recognition that in spite of human limitations, God will empower us to accomplish our task; and
renewal of our personal commitment to ministries of justice and mercy.
