GLAD ALLIANCE AND OPEN & AFFIRMING ANNUAL PLANNING SESSION

The GLAD Alliance and Open and Affirming Team held the annual planning session this year at the Christian Theological Seminary at the Hospitality House in January.  During this planning meeting, we strategized the coming months leading to the assembly, what we will do during the assembly, and a vision for the coming years.  Pictured to the left are Derek Penwell, Andrew Raker, Bruce Indermill, Debbie Richards, Karen Barr, Audrey Connor, Jim Barton, Steve Martz, Dan Adolphson, and Kerry Armstrong.
