This year's theme: The Relentless Pursuit of Justice

In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus teaches his disciples the parable of the persistent widow. Jesus speaks of a widow who pleads repeatedly with an unjust judge to grant her justice. This story is a common experience for so many in our world who are oppressed and denied justice. The good news about this story is that Jesus is giving us an insight into how justice will be established and grow in the face of apathy. If we are relentless and do not give up, Jesus says “God will grant justice”. The work of justice is not easy. In this teaching, Jesus is preparing his followers to be relentless in the pursuit of justice. For this year's conference, each of our speakers will be teaching from this important scripture passage.
