Conference on Water Sustainability Will Use Assembly Dialogue Method
Helen Spector asked us to announce the upcoming conference on water sustainability in Berkeley, CA on June 19. The conference will focus on both the San Francisco Watershed and the global water crisis. They will be using the the methodology that Helen presented at the NCDD conference last fall – the Assembly methodology developed for the Barcelona Parliament of the World’s Religions that promotes reflection, dialogue and movement to action. The conference is also part of the United Nations 60th Anniversary events. For more information visit www.uribridgecc.org and to register, email rsvp@uribridgecc.org.
