Workshop Offerings at the "It's All About Love" Festival
“It’s All About Love” is a churchwide festival of worship, learning, community, and action for the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement, July 9-12 at the Baltimore Convention Center. Everyone is welcome to join for revival worship, plenary speakers, and dozens of workshops, panels, and practice opportunities around the festival tent themes: Evangelism, Racial Reconciliation, and Creation Care. Together with Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, House of Deputies President Julia Ayala Harris, and inspiring leaders across the church and beyond, we will be renewed, equipped, and connected to go forth and share the power of love!
