The Annual Meeting will feature worship led by each of the five families; prayerful discernment of future steps in the development of CCT; further development of a strategy to help eliminate domestic poverty; release of a non-partisan statement in Washington D.C.; conversation with Congressional leaders and leaders of the new Administration; and conversation about evangelism in preparation for the 2010 Annual Meeting.

The non-partisan statement regarding the elimination of domestic poverty will occur at a public site in Washington D.C. (such as the Lincoln memorial). CCT believes that Christian leaders, standing shoulder to shoulder from across the spectrum of theology and practice will be a helpful witness as we seek to keep domestic poverty front and center on the nation’s agenda and on the agenda of the new Administration (no matter who is elected President).

The Annual Meeting is not an “open” meeting. However, observers from communions and organizations seeking to become participants in CCT are welcome. Also, a few visitors from other communions and organizations and from the press may ask to attend. Registration forms and further information are available from Executive Administrator, Dr. Dick Hamm, at dhamm@ddi.org or 317-490-1968.
