Formed Conference

Saturday, March 2, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm  Kinloch Room

There are many difficult questions for people and parents:

“Love is love! Or is it?”

“How do we make justice real for everyone, not just a theory?”

“How can we champion free speech without crossing lines?”

“Who gets to be happy in our pursuit of happiness?”

“Should you really be talking to my kids about that?”

“ Are women and men really different, and does that matter?”

Join St. Michael’s to look at issues like these with the Rev. Canon Phil Ashey of the American Anglican Council and the Rev. Randy Forester of St. Andrew’s Church, Mt. Pleasant.
