2008 ANNUAL MEETING
Presbyterian College Chaplains Association
“Keeping in Balance”

How do we teach and model a balanced, non-frantic life to our students, when our own lives are often busy beyond description? Through discussion, exercises, and worship we will think about balance in our lives, especially as it relates to the spiritual life – the inward and outward movements of faith.

 Time:  Friday February 15, noon - Sunday February 17, 8:00 am, 2008

Place:  San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Francisco, California

 

 Keynote speaker and worship leader:  Rev. Laurie  Garrett- Cobbina
