NCC-USA Young Adult Stewards Program Application

Category: Show on homepage

 

YOU could be one of a group of young adults from across the country participating in the Assembly as stewards and benefit from the opportunity to:

  • Network with other young adults
  • Discover particulars about a variety of different communions
  • Encounter a rich multicultural environment
  • Worship in an ecumenical setting
  • Experience the church at work, living its unity in Jesus Christ
  • Interact with national church leaders
  • Discuss the history and future of ecumenism

The Stewards Program offers a unique opportunity for young adults, ages 18-30, to encounter one aspect of the ecumenical movement from the inside. Ecumenical formation involves learning ecumenical theology and sharing the excitement and joy of worship and fellowship with others in the ecumenical movement. NCC/CWS invites stewards to the General Assembly to serve in the background and to observe up close the deliberative work of ecumenism.

Stewards must arrive in New Orleans for orientation and a Pre-Assembly Event by Sunday, noon, November 7, and will depart New Orleans on Friday, November 12

All expenses, except personal expenses, will be covered by the General Assembly. The Stewards Program is made possible by special donations from communions and supporters of the NCC/CWS. These donations support expanded opportunities for young adults to takeleadership in future ecumenical endeavors. You could join with these sponsors by sending your check to: Young Adult Stewards Program, NCC, 475 Riverside Drive, New York, NY 10115-0050.

Deadline for applications is September 10, 2010.
