<p>Have you noticed that we are using Conference rather than Convention when referring to our upcoming national gathering? Weve heard from many Dignity members and friends that they thought convention implied a business meeting focused on internal issues and was more appropriate for insiders and current leaders. We know our gatherings offer much more: inspirational thought-provoking reflections on emerging issues engaging workshops moving liturgies and prayer experiences a range of social events high-quality entertainment and opportunities to meet or reconnect with incredible people from all around the country You told us conference seemed a better reflection of this variety of offerings and felt more welcoming. So were throwing a conferencea great conferenceand theres A Place at the Table for you! Registration will open in January 2017.</p>
