Celebrate Marriage Equality at New Ways Ministry's Symposium!

Dear Friends,

Maryland is celebrating this week--and will be doing so for at least the remainder of the month--because our Catholic Governor Martin O'Malley just yesterday signed a law making marriage equality the law of the land in our state!

New Ways Ministry was honored that our co-founder, Sister Jeannine Gramick, was invited to attend the signing ceremony for this new law.  You can read all about her experience there, and New Ways Ministry's involvement in supporting the bill, on our blog, Bondings 2.0.  You can access this blog post by clicking on this link: http://wp.me/p21uEP-nz
 
New Ways Ministry is even more honored by the fact that Governor O'Malley will be joining us and the hundreds of Catholics from across the nation who will be attending our 7th National Symposium, From Water to Wine:  Lesbian/Gay Catholics and the Church, March 15-17th, in Baltimore, Maryland.  If you haven't already done so, please consider registering for this exciting educational event. We've attached a PDF brochure to this email for your convenience. 

If you can't participate for the entire three days, you might want to consider registering for Friday only, which has the main part of the Symposium program, and is also the day that Governor O'Malley will be joining us.  A special registration fee for Friday only is one of the options on the brochure.

Don't delay!  The Symposium is only two weeks away!  You won't want to miss this historic moment to celebrate with the people and Governor of Maryland, as well as so many Catholics from across the nation who support LGBT equality and justice!

I hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
Francis DeBernardo
