The long-awaited visual account of (some of) Annual Conference! More images have been posted on our new Flickr page, so click over there from the right-hand navigation bar on this page. We’ll keep adding to that page, so check back in in weeks to come.
Caucus Worker Jan Eller at the booth, with the theme, “Empowering the Church of the Future:”
One “feminist of the future” is a painter:
BMC’s witness this year involved images of Brethren who have been pushed to the margins of the church by its homophobic stance. Supporters carried around the images with us at Conference, keeping these persons and families in our thoughts and prayers while there, and on Tuesday night we gathered for a vigil outside the auditorium to remember them all and remind the entire church to “Count the Cost of Exclusion.”
We invited visitors to the booth to write their “dreams for the church of the future” on the pink and white stars, then we stuck them up on the shiny cloth. We’ll be posting some of those dreams here and in Femailings in weeks to come. We got some great ideas flowing, and it’s nice to have a preview of what we’ll be making the church into in the next 300 years….

Thanks for the excellent account of conference. I’ve appreciated being able to keep up on the goings on through our Womaen’s Caucus website. And, have I told you lately that YOU ROCK? We’re very proud of you!

Yes, thanks for the coverage that expanded the norm on Brethren mention. Great work, once again Womaen!! You mentioned the Facebook group page. How does one access that?
