CHICAGO, March 19, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Sacred Friendship Gathering is hosting a second groundbreaking conversation on spiritual friendships between men and women. The theme for this year's gathering is "bold boundaries."

Boundaries usually stops the conversation on the subject of friendships between men and women. But what if boundaries kept us away from real good and reconciliation between men and women? What would happen if men and women could nurture deeper trust between each other in friendship and partner against sexism, fear-driven rules, and domestic violence?

Is it possible, with a wholehearted yes to healthy engagement, and through the beauty and fullness of friendship, that we finally learn to abandon the manipulative power plays of men over women, or women over men?

Join us, and speakers: Jonalyn Fincher, Kathy Escobar, Karl Wheeler, Hugo Schwyzer, Dan Brennan, Jennifer Ould, Alise Wright, Rich Chaffins, Emily Maynard, Jim Henderson, and Elizabeth Chapin, as we gather together to hear stories of bold boundaries and explore our calling as men and women in learning healthy, bold discernment, trust, and mutual openness in friendship.

The Sacred Friendship Gathering will meet in Long Grove, Il. April 26-27, 2013. For more information: sacredfriendshipgathering.com.
