AU celebrates gentle strength of unity through story and song
By Dan Harman
 From the opening by the 250-voice choir, leading an excited assembly in "Worship the King," to the concluding "How Great Thou Art," the Friday evening launch of the North American Convention was a celebration to be remembered.
Anderson University president James L. Edwards began it: “From the beginnings of our movement, we have done things together, and this ‘camp meeting’ is another reminder that our unity with Jesus brings a quiet, powerful impact to our life together.”

Our great religious texts — including the Bible, Torah and Koran — all profess the goodness of a unified faith community.
The sense of mutual respect and understanding has been evident in the Church of God camp meetings of the 1960s, when nearly 25,000 congregants lived, worshipped and shared together.
A community spirit still shines at annual gatherings as it surely will for the 122nd North American Convention of the Church of God that begins today.
