ADN Updates: October 2015
ADNet's new website is here!

Announcing a new look for ADN Online and an Inclusive Worship Symposium

As this newsletter went to press, we were nearing completion of our redesigned website that we have been working hard on throughout 2015. We launched both the new site and the email newsletter on Friday, October 2. Our address remains the same: www.adnetonline.org.

Enjoy exploring the site and let us know if you encounter anything that needs attention. Some resources will be organized differently, so please be in touch if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
