 Many Streams, One River
November 14-17, 2005
Student preacher Peter Frye, LTS Faculty member David M. Mellott and special guests Dr. Virginia Ramey Mollenkott and Dr. Ken Stone of Chicago Theological Seminary.
This year's theme focused on the fluidity of sexuality. Rather than being exclusively male or female, we possess emotional, physical, mental and spiritual components of both sexes in a continuum of God's good creation. We recognize that there are many inlets, many tributaries, many streams that combine to become the great river that we call humanity. This year celebrated the flow of living water that carries us all.
