Our Miami Gathering
Thanks to all who attended and supported the No2Torture Epiphany gathering in Miami, Florida
on Jan. 6-7, 2006. We will be posting more information here over the next few days.
Epiphany is the time when the church remembers that God's light shines
in the darkness for all people. Fifty of us gathered to study, pray, discuss and strategize.
And we celebrated our hope and our yearning with worship and witness on the beach
looking towards Guantanamo, Cuba.
We really are a grassroots movement - as in having no budget - so people
arranged their own travel and lived simply for a couple of days.
Riviera Presbyterian Church of Miami,
Miami Shores Presbyterian Church,
and the Presbytery of Tropical Florida
graciously hosted our gathering. Moderator Rick Ufford-Chase, Ed Brogan and other movement
leaders were among those who attended.
