Our United Israel World Union annual meeting will be held in Charlotte, NC the weekend of April 16, 17, and 18th.
This conference is open to anyone who wants to come with peace, good will, and an open mind. We have no doctrinal tests or dogmas, beyond an orientation toward the Hebrew Faith. The theme this year is “The Hebraic Origins of America.” Jeffrey Bütz, author of The Secret Legacy of Jesus will be with us as keynote speaker, James Tabor, Ross Nichols, Ralph Buntyn, David Tyler, and Web Hulon will also deliver lectures. There is a $20 per person registration fee, $30 for a couple or family.
We are very pleased to announce that we will be meeting this year at the Marriot South Park in Charlotte, NC. It is a truly elegant and lovely place, newly renovated, and it is located South Park, one of the best areas of the city both in terms of location and amenities.
