Each year, Presbyterians and other denominations gather in the nation’s capital to pray, debate and lobby over specific social justice issues. More than 1,000 people within the ecumenical Christian community are expected to attend Advocacy Training Weekend, which will be held April 15-18 in Washington, D.C. This year’s topic is “Lift Every Voice: Racism, Class and Power.” The weekend consists of the PC(USA) Compassion, Peace and Justice Training Day (April 15) followed by Ecumenical Advocacy Days (April 15-18).
