Iowa Institute for Social Action
The annual Iowa Institute for Social Action is to be held on Sunday and Monday, Jan. 14th and 15th, at Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart Church in Ankeny. John Carr, head of the U.S. bishops’ conference’s department on social development and world peace, will be the keynote speaker both days. This is a great way to learn about social justice in the Catholic Church! Breakout sessions include “how to’s” for forming a parish social action ministry, Rachel’s Ministries, the Iraq war, the ethics of stem cell research, food and farm policy, energy and climate change and more. The cost is $40 (including a dinner and awards banquet). Visit www.iowasocialaction.org or call (515) 237-5041 for more information. The workshop is sponsored by the Iowa Catholic Conference, the four dioceses of Iowa and the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.
