LCWR National Assembly

Orlando, FL

LCWR Prayer Service
2024-08-16 13:00 - 14:00 | Online
LCWR announced that on the final day of its 2024 assembly in Orlando, the world is invited to join in a prayer service that will stream live.
In 2020, the LCWR national board unanimously affirmed a call to place the conference on a five-year journey to address systemic racism and white privilege. The call emerged from an open and honest conversation held among leaders of LCWR and the National Black Sisters’ Conference. On Friday, Aug. 16 at 1 p.m., congregational leaders gathered at LCWR Mission Assembly will participate in a prayer service that addresses A Spirit Call Within a Call and the profound truth-telling, reconciliation, repentance, and repair work needed for Spirit-ruah to breathe us through to transformative change.
Watch for more information.
