Beyond the Front Porch: Finding Our Place in Nature
Each year, Merry Lea offers a faith-based conference integrating fieldwork
outdoors, reflection, discussion and worship. This event emphasizes the hope
embedded in the natural world rather than the despair we sometimes feel when
considering environmental damage. The 2008 theme will enable participants to
feel more at home in local ecosystems and to attend to the world outdoors as a
spiritual practice. Through a partnership with Associated Mennonite Biblical
Seminary, Elkhart, IN, attenders can earn one credit hour for a course based on
this weekend.
Cost: $100; $30 for students Some lodging available on site for
$15/night.
