New pastors' conference in the works

by Eva Stimson

RICHMOND, June 28 - Pastors who worry that they'll suffer from "General
Assembly withdrawal" next summer got some welcome news at Monday's Assembly
breakfast:

Now that the PC(USA) is moving to biennial Assemblies, a new National
Pastors' Conference is planned for the first off-year.

"A Pastor's Sabbath" is scheduled for May 27-30 (Memorial Day weekend), 2005,
at Snowbird Resort near Salt Lake City, UT.

The Rev. Bill Forbes, a member of the planning committee, said it will be an
occasion for prayer, worship, rest and renewal. Speakers will include Walter
Brueggeman, Tony Campolo, James Forbes and Barbara Brown-Taylor.

Registration opens on July 20. After that date, more information will be
available online at www.pcusa.org/pastorsabbath.
