Conference Call Minutes, Thursday, 5/8/08

[m m]

Attached, please find the Minutes from EGR's conference call, Thursday, 5/8/08.
 
Here are a few highlights:

a.       Give it 4 Good

The pledges for this project have crested over $80,000.  We have partnered with an organization called RISE (Rebates in Service of Everyone).   The organization's focus is giving away checks to nonprofits;

b.       Everyone, Everywhere

Registration for this conference is just about at capacity.  Mike will preach at the opening Eucharist and EGR is helping to shape the conference in many ways as a co-sponsor;

c.       Millennium Congregation

This project is being founded by the Rev. Jay Lawlor, out of N. Carolina.  The Millennium Village in Rwanda is an excellent example and model for how this project can both provide vital aid and foster self-sufficiency;

d.       General Convention

At the General Convention we've reserved time for two major events: an Anglican Emerging Church Eucharist and the U2charist.  The latter will include a professional Bono impersonator who's a devout Christian and enthusiastic about assisting with promoting the MDGs.

 

Thanks to all for your continued work addressing the MDGs,

Marguy
