Call To Action’s national conference is an annual homecoming. Thousands of progressive Catholics from around the country and abroad come together to create the largest gathering of progressive Catholics in the United States.
Our progressive Catholic heritage has a rich history of embracing prophetic voices both inside and outside the Catholic community. These voices come from women and men, married and single, divorced and remarried, ordained and lay. Their messages span the entire spectrum of skin color, sexual orientation, spiritual traditions, and way of life.
This year’s conference, Faithful Prophets: God Alive in Every Generation, recognizes that God works and speaks through all persons of every age in each generation. All of us, from every generation, bring our God-given gifts to create a vibrant movement for justice and peace in our church and world.
In Milwaukee, you’ll find inspiration in a wide range of speakers and presentations –especially our three keynote speakers. Shane Claiborne will share how he puts his faith in action working for non-violence, service to the poor, and a simpler way of life. Asra Nomani will offer a unique perspective as she works for inclusive reform in the Muslim tradition. Joan Chittister returns to the Call To Action family gathering with her perspective on the emerging prophets of the day.
In addition to these three inspirational spirits, the conference weekend will be packed with events, presentations, exhibits, and worship opportunities that guarantee to enlighten the mind and empower the soul.
Please join us in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from Nov. 5-7. Thousands of your Call To Action sisters and brothers will be waiting to celebrate your spirit, inspire you to work for justice, and to simply say, “Welcome home!”
Sincerely,
Jim FitzGerald
