Future Conference Site Announced

The Annual Conference Office has announced the site of the 222nd Church of the Brethren Annual Conference to be held in 2008. Realizing that delegates are becoming more and more concerned about the expense of attending conference, the Program and Arrangements committee put their heads together and came up with the place that should please most Brethren. Always known for its cheap but bountiful buffets, Las Vegas will be brimming with Brethren in July, 2008. Since the Church of the Brethren does not yet have any congregations in Nevada, arrangements have been made with the Covenant Casino Church which will act as the hosts for the conference that year. For those concerned about gambling, the Annual Conference office would like to remind everyone that, as is pointed out in the 1986 statement on gambling, there is no specific command stating, "Thou shall not gamble." For those who are concerned with horse race result, please consult the Dunker Journal.
