COMMISSION ON THE GLOBAL CHURCH
New York Conference - United Church of Christ
November 2007
|
 |
| The Rev. Raul Dávila Castro, president of the Iglesia Misión Cristiana and Rev. Geoffrey Black, New York Conference Minister, at the Mission Possible Retreat.. |
 |
| On November 2nd and 3rd the Commission on the Global Church held its second mission retreat, Mission Possible II. Twenty-one attended the retreat, both commission members and others with an interest in mission work. |
 |
| The Rev. Raul Dávila Castro of the Iglesia Misión Cristiana of Nicaragua, with whom we are developing a covenant, and Felix Ortiz-Cotto, the Executive for the Latin America and the Caribbean Office of the Common Global Ministries Board also joined us to assist in forming this covenant and discuss global partnerships. |
 |
| As well as discovering what each partner could bring to our covenant we discussed topics of migration, within and in between countries, as well as hospitality, what it means and how we can be more hospitable. |
 |
| Communion was also celebrated. It was a good opportunity to renew one?s commitment to mission work or create a new one. |
