Who can participate?
Dates and venue
The Twelfth Assembly and its Women’s pre-Assembly will be strongly marked by the hospitality and vibrant church life of Namibia. The Women’s pre-Assembly will run from 5 (arrivals) to 9 May 2017 in Windhoek.
The venue for this gathering will be the Arebbusch lodge: http://www.arebbusch.com/
If you are willing to take part to the Women’s pre-Assembly, you need to indicate this when you do your online registration, under the “Assembly” menu of the form.
Pre-Assembly program
The Women’s pre-Assembly program gathers the concerns and priorities collected at the regional pre-Assemblies. Two of these regional pre-Assemblies took place in 2016, but a couple of them are being held in January and February 2017. Once these are finalized we will be able to release a final program. For the time being, it is important to highlight what the participants can expect from the Women’s pre-Assembly in Namibia:
