The World Council of Churches is offering an opportunity for Christians ages 18-30 to participate in their 2011 conferences through the Stewards Program. Youth can take part in the International Ecumenical Peace Convocation meeting in Kingston, Jamaica, May 12-26, 2011.
The meeting will celebrate the achievements of the Decade to Overcome Violence, which began in 2001. Youth from around the world will help with the functioning of the meeting.
Costs for the conference are covered through the WCC and airfare will be subsidized through the Presbyterian Church’s Youth in Mission department. Stewards will endure an intensive program of activities and long days of work. The deadline for applications is Nov. 30.
Applications can be submitted through the Youth in Mission office by mail or email (yim@presbyterian.ca), and inquiries can be made to Lindsey Hepburn-Aley at 1-800-619-7301, ext. 259. — WCC and PCC
