"What must we do to continue giving theological voice and
credence to the sacred work of organizing, strategizing, and fostering
justice and joy for current and future generations of young
people??This is the work of the Dale P. Andrews Freedom Seminary
at the Hall-Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry, and we
invite you to enrich your theological education by joining us this
summer, July 15-18, 2024, in Clinton, Tennessee. We believe the
innovative education seminarians receive at the Hall-Proctor Institute
for Child Advocacy Ministry through The Freedom Seminary is like no
other. When you attend the Hall-Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy
Ministry at the Children's Defense Fund Haley Farm in Clinton,
Tennessee, you will discover strategies, skills, and effective models
that equip you in your faithful work of improving the lives of
children. You will also have the opportunity to hear from renowned
justice-centered leaders, prophetic preachers, and community
organizers as you join in an intergenerational, interracial, and
multi-ethnic conversation on the hallowed grounds of the CDF Haley
Farm with people who share your passion for creating a nation and
world in which all children can thrive."

"Centering children and future generations is the most prophetic
form of ministry and requires steadfast hope in the face of
historic violence and oppression. The Freedom Seminary track at the
Hall-Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry places students
(you) shoulder-to-shoulder with those prophetic leaders, preachers,
and fellow justice-focused ministers to learn and connect with,
advancing a future where all children thrive. For just a few days, you
will bridge the gap between the generations of civil rights leaders
and those future beings who will inherit the world we are building
together. It is like no other experience in theological
education."?
