>
> In conjunction with this important international event, the WSCF
> North
> American Region is organizing a Stewards Programme, entitled
> Transforming
> Empire: Prophesy in Action.
>
> The Stewards Programme is an opportunity for youth committed to
> faith-based
> justice and peace work to connect, at the 2008 Montreal GA of
> the WSCF, with
> other youth and students with a similar vision. While serving
> the needs of
> the GA community, the Stewards Programme is also thematically
> focused on
> issues relating to doing justice under empire. Inspired by
> popular education
> and liberation theology methodologies, the stewards will have
> the
> opportunity to learn, reflect, share and build-community while
> contributing
> to the GA through serving its delegates.
>
> The Stewards Programme will take place before the WSCF delegates
> arrive and
> after they leave: from July 26th to August 11th, 2008. That's 17
> days of
> engaging and inspiring programming!
>
> Please find poster and application form attached in this email

> Continent. We are looking for at least 4 US Students, 4 Canadian
> Students
