The theme of the Convention is &quot;God&#39;s Love: Enduring as the Mountains Endless as the Sea.&quot; When we gathered last year in Minneapolis our theme was &quot;Let Justice Roll Like a River&quot; and we looked at our call to social justice. In Seattle we will look at how God&#39;s Love sustains us and grounds us in our advocacy work. We will look at different ways we experience and nurture God&#39;s Love and presence in our lives.</p> <p>The 2015 Convention keynote speaker will be Sister Simone Campbell. Sr. Simone is the Executive Director of NETWORK and organizer of the &quot;Nuns on the Bus&quot; tours. She is an advocate for peace-building immigration reform healthcare and economic justice. She has recently authored the book &quot;A Nun on the Bus: How All of Us Can Create Hope Change and Community.&quot; Sr. Simone will be speaking on &quot;The Spirituality That Grounds Advocacy.&quot;</p> <p>The convention program committee is working on lining up the other speakers for the Convention. The topics we will explore are &quot;Life in God: Daily Encounters with the Divine&quot; &quot;Compassionate Living&quot; and &quot;A Spirituality of Sacrament.&quot;</p> <p>Don&#39;t miss your chance to be in Seattle in 2015. <a href=http://www.dignityusa.org/civicrm/event/info?id=48&amp;reset=1>Pre-register now</a>!&nbsp;</p>
