    RECongress Keeping 'Green'

The Los Angeles Religious Education Congress is committed to live our faith by protecting God's creation and advocating on behalf of people in poverty who face the hardest impact of global climate change.

Affirming our desire to care for the earth, we encourage you (if possible) to choose the option of online registration for Congress 2010. This simple initiative will help reduce paper waste and ultimately help protect the environment.

See Congress Registration Information


WORKSHOP SPOTLIGHT
Sensing the Holy: Touching the Earth, Sounding the Word, Praying the Body
Speaker: Philip Roderick
Session
1-18
Friday, March 19, 10:30-11:00 am
Explore with Philip Roderick the consciousness shift and the access to grace provided by three of his delights: the simple and sometimes silent "isness" of nature as a vehicle for spiritual alignment; the power of sound and sacred text, from lament to glory with percussive rhythm; the felt wisdom of early Christian and contemporary body prayer, gesture, posture and procession. Rev. Philip D. Roderick
