One year after Eastern Synod Assembly 2021, Rev Christie Morrow-Wolfe and Rev Adam Snook sit down for a follow-up conversation with Jeff Chu.

This interactive event will include an address from Jeff, a panel conversation, as well as a Q&A period during which participants will have the opportunity to engage Jeff in deeper conversation.

This event is open to all. To learn more and register, please visit: bit.ly/JeffChu
