We invite you to join the 2024 Conference, taking place Nov 1-2 in Toronto
Message from the Conference Planning Team Chair
“Faith in a Time of Genocide” is both an important conference to reflect on our faith and a call to faithfulness in solidarity with Palestinians. The choice to meet in Toronto makes for less complicated travel and it is more expensive than some of the retreat centres have been in the past. Registration is $350. In addition to having a block of rooms at the Garden Hilton Airport Hotel, we hope to provide the option of some billets in the Mississauga/ western Toronto area. Students can apply for a Lois Freeman Wilson scholarship ($300 - $500) from the World Student Christian Federation Canada. For non-students, please let us know if the registration cost is prohibitive for you.
Some folks in the UNJPPI network may not be able to attend the conference but would like to make it more possible for others to attend. Donations are always warmly welcome although we cannot issue a charitable tax receipt for your generosity because the network is not incorporated. If you would like to contribute, donations can be made by etransfer to: unjppi@bathurstunited.ca OR a cheque by mail to:
UNJPPI
