Dear friends,
After much consideration, the Executive Committee, along with the 2022 Annual Gathering planning team, have come to the difficult decision to move the 2022 Annual Gathering to an entirely virtual gathering this year.
The Alliance is committed to making every space as equitable as possible. During this pandemic, that means we must consider how we are to keep our neighbor safe. Because there are still many unknowns about how the next few months may play out, the Alliance has decided to take the necessary steps to create a vibrant online experience and gathering for this year.
We are fatigued by these ongoing moves to online spaces. We grieve with you and long for a time when we can gather together again in person. One of the most important parts of our communal life is being together. The Alliance is committed to gathering together again when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing how this tapestry displays itself again this year in an online form.
Registration information will be distributed in the next few days. We hope you will join us as we take on the cross together. This year's theme urges us to reimagine the love of God and theologies of the cross in light of our social situation. We are thrilled to host keynote speakers Rita Nakashima Brock and Eboni Marshall Turman. To learn more about the gathering, please visit our website.
In the spirit of love,
The Alliance of Baptists
