You are invited to CMEP’s 2010 Advocacy Conference to learn, increase your skills, network and advocate for peace with justice in the Holy Land. The conference will be June 13^th – 15^th, 2010 at the Kellogg Conference Hotel in Washington, DC.

Psalm 34:14 and 1 Peter 3:11 “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” inspired this year’s conference theme. This Hebrew Bible and New Testament command to action is at the heart of what CMEP does to be proactive in promoting the right of people in the Holy Land to live in peace and security, free of fears of harassment, oppression, and violence   The conference will provide knowledge, skills and networking opportunities for every participant to pursue peace on Capitol Hill and at home.

The conference registration will open at 3:00 PM on Sunday, June 13th. Our gathering and opening plenary will begin at 7:00 PM. All workshops, plenaries, and meals on June 13th and 14th will be at the Kellogg Conference Hotel. On Tuesday, June 15th charter buses will transport conference participants to Capitol Hill to enjoy a congressional breakfast and attend scheduled advocacy meetings with Congress. The conference will conclude on Tuesday, June 15th, following the Senate appointments.
