Dear Christian Leaders:
I am pleased to extend to you a personal invitation to the next event of the Grounds Institute of Public Ethics-Salt and Light seminar!
The seminar has been designed especially with you in mind. As a disciple of Christ who is passionate about His mandate to be Salt and Light in a morally decadent world, and who is endeavoring to fulfill that mandate in your own field of ministry you have a great deal to share with others, as well as benefit from their own experiences.
Join us to this unique forum of leaders of influence for an exciting time of collective learning for mutual enrichment and maximum prophetic impact.
