Doug Maben, an ex-intern who is a Presbyterian pastor, organized an exciting Denver town meeting, and one of the most moving local speakers was another former intern, Mara Vanderslice, who challenged the enthusiastic audience to join the Jubilee 2000 campaign. A beloved teacher and mentor of mine, Vincent Harding, introduced the evening. Call to Renewal and Sojourners board member Leah Gaskin Fitchue is now dean of the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, which hosted the Atlanta Faith Works Forum. Media coverage was very extensive in Atlanta as it was in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Former Sojourners magazine editor Bob Hulteen now works for the Minnesota Council of Churches and organized the successful town meeting we held at Rev. Al Gallmon's Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church.

Greetings! I am back home in Boulder after completing my intern year with Sojourners 1997-98. I worked with the Call to Renewal and Jubilee 2000 during my year at Sojourners. I am hoping to connect up with other Sojourners subscribers in Colorado. I am looking for a church community and especially other young adults interested in faith and social justice. -- Before Sojourners I graduated from Earlham College with a degree in Peace and Global Studies. I also love the mountains, going hiking, skiing, running and mountain biking. Please get in touch with me, as I am trying to find a progressive Christian community in Colorado. Also, I would love to know about your church, Bible study or social justice work. If anyone is interested in forming a Jubilee 2000 chapter in Colorado please let me know. God bless!
