Hi All,
Thanks much for all of the thoughtful suggestions that were sent in through the listserv and Rachel’s comment board. A few of us have taken a stab at some synthesis of all of that material into a somewhat coherent agenda.
Can’t stress enough that this is just a draft! Please leave comments. Also, this program clearly doesn’t include any of the worship or social activities that have already been discussed. The plan is to mash this panel agenda with the prayer times and social activities in order to have an actual working agenda by May 1! I know, hard to believe.
Happy Commenting…
