LuMin Conference - June 17-19, 2020
Join us this summer in Chicago as we gather to explore ways in which we can weave together our various identities in a manner that uplifts diversity! The campus ministry network is, and has been, a community that relies on shared resources and mutual support, and we will honor this connectedness with a focus on reimagining how we can work towards inclusion within our ministries.
Our time together will be anchored with a day long anti-racism training to begin our journey towards dismantling systemic racism and all other forms of social inequality and oppression. The hope is that we each leave Chicago better equipped to identify and confront these issues in/on our lives, campuses, communities, and culture.
Throughout the course of the conference, you can also expect to find the familiar spaces for worship, fellowship, brainstorming and resource sharing that we all look forward to each year.
Whether as a new campus ministry colleague, old friend, or restless agitator, we begin this decade for LuMin, reminded that we are “Bound Together”!
