Hearts that yearn logo

Gather with 150 other clergy and lay people concerned with social and global justice to be refreshed, renewed, recommitted and reconnected! Speakers include; Rev. Dr. James Forbes, Brian D. McLaren , Fr. Richard Rohr, Bishop Samuel Ruiz, Elsa Tamez, and Matthew Fox . I don’t know where you could find a group of speakers like this in one place and it’s practically on our doorstep! The conference begins this side of the border at University of San Diego, and then continues in Tijuana at Casa de Migrante.
The theme of the conference, “Be Not Afraid,” is intended to recognize the reality of fear that many immigrants face in their difficult journeys, and the reality of the growing atmosphere of fear in the United States confronting us through the symptom/lens of immigration.

I highly recommend this conference especially if you are local to San Diego. I’m planning to be there!
