The keynote speaker for this year's Annual Council is the Very Rev. Mike Kinman, dean of Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis, MO. Following the Ferguson police killing of Michael Brown, Jr., Kinman was an advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement and provided sanctuary for the movement at Christ Church Cathedral. “As a church leader, I go where I see Christ,” Kinman told The St. Louis American in an interview. “And right now, I see Him in the young people. I see Him in the young people non-violently leading this movement.” Click here to learn more about Kinman.
