Join EMM at General Convention 2012

Going to the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Indianapolis? Come visit with Episcopal Migration Ministries and learn more about the Church's work with refugees! EMM will be on hand at the Exhibition Hall at booth 603, along with friends from Exodus Refugee Immigration Inc., our affiliate partners in Indianapolis. Our booth will feature artwork by refugees resettled in the U.S., along with a wealth of informational resources about ways you can welcome new Americans living in your community. We’ll also be giving away a limited number of vintage EMM posters designed by the Diocese of Southern Ohio in 1938 (seen at right), so come by early in the week!

In addition, EMM will co-host a pair of events in Indianapolis during the week of convention that are open to the public. Background information and links to RSVP are provided below. Please take a look -- we look forward to seeing you at Convention!
