Divinity & Diversity An Exploration of Christianity’s Encounter with World Religions Advance Conference (for persons ages 19 – 29 & out of High School) is hosting a weekend retreat, December

28-30th into the world of diversity and our place in it. What is diversity? How can we actively seek out and

embrace diversity? Why is diversity so important? To help us explore these questions and many more, we have

invited Dr. Dale C. Allison to join us at Camp Christian in Magnetic Springs, Ohio. Registration will start at

7:00 Friday night and the retreat will wrap up approximately at 11:00 Sunday morning. Dr. Allison currently

serves as the Errett M. Grable professor of New Testament exegesis and early Christianity at Pittsburgh

Theological Seminary. Some of his most recent books are The Luminous Dusk: Finding God in the Deep, Still

Places and The Love There That’s Sleeping: The Art and Spirituality of George Harrison. Although he is

perhaps most renowned for his work on the Gospel of Matthew, he is also currently working on a full-length

commentary on the Book of James. For more information or to register on line please visit www.ccinoh.org.

2008 Disciples Men’s Action Plan

Let me take this time to thank each of you in advance for helping the Men’s Commission

increase the participation of the men in your church in regional ministry activities. It is my hope

and prayer that each man in your congregation, from Advance Conference age through the oldest

of the congregation becomes involved in Ohio Disciple Men’s activities in your church, in your

district and in the region.

I would like to start a network of “contact” men in the region. To this end, I will need the name,

address, phone number and/or email of at least one man in every congregation whose

responsibility it would be to help keep the men of the region informed of any and all activities

occurring throughout the region. Please email those names to [email protected].

Are you or any men in your congregation planning to attend Sessions 2008 in Oklahoma City,

Oklahoma on July 17-20, 2008? See enclosed brochure. We would like to charter buses to

take the men to Oklahoma. In order to put the plan in motion the Regional Church Office needs

to know the names of men interested in reserving a seat(s) on a chartered bus. By February 08,

2008 the Regional Church Office must have a count of men in your congregation. The contact

number: (614) 433-0343 or email them at [email protected].
