Reconciliation Conference, September 2007
The Reconciliation at the Roundtable: God’s Call in the 21st Century conference inaugurated the Seminary’s new Desmond Tutu Education Center with its 60 guest rooms and full conference facilities. Co-sponsored by the Community of the Cross of Nails, this gathering underscored General’s vision to connect the Seminary with the wider church and global community. Workshops led by on-the-ground experts stimulated fresh thinking about reconciliation in current conflicts and catalyzed commitment to peace and reconciliation efforts in the USA and around the world.
