Geneva, Switzerland / 2010 dates coming soon

 

Come join us in April 2010.

This educational trip to Geneva is designed to broaden our understanding on theological, social and economical global issues, such as interfaith dialogue, evangelism, globalization, church unity, justice and peace, ecumenical dialogue, the Reformed faith in the 21st century, among others. Participants will engage the staff of the World Council of Churches, the World Alliance of Reformed Churches, Conference of European Churches, Oikocredit and other ecumenical organizations based in Geneva. A one-day visit is scheduled to the Ecumenical Institute of Bossey — in a lovely rural setting outside of Geneva. A city tour, a visit to the Museum of the Reformation, and one full-day tour to Gruyeres and the Chateau de Chillon are also included. This is a great educational opportunity, including time for leisure and relaxation. Here is a sample schedule of events.
