Young adult stewards needed

Christian Orthodox young adults are invited to apply to serve as stewards at the 2008 General Assembly of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. and Church World Service.

The assembly, which convenes annually in a different U.S. city to bring together the ecumenical leadership of the council's 35 member communions, will meet Nov. 11 to 13 in Denver, Colo.

His Grace, Bishop Demetrios of Mokissos, chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago, is chair of the assembly's planning committee.

A key part of the assembly is the Young Adult Stewards program. Young adults ages 18 to 30, from all of the member communions, will help with the organization and management of the assembly, and observe and join in the proceedings.

The application may be downloaded from www.ncccusa.org/ ga2008/stewardapplication.pdf.

Deadline for submittal is Fri., Sept. 12. Candidates with any degree of seminary training are particularly encouraged to apply.
