the
first
time.
The
theme
chosen
for
the
conference
CREATING
THE
SACRED
-
Walking
in
Beauty
&
Light
and
included
the
expression
of
the
Sacred
through
music,
dance
and
arts.
In
2013,
the
Heartland

again
invited
minisers

program,
Vistas:
Views

Heartland
ADL,
expressive
both
of
our
location
in
the
Heartland
of
the
country
and
the
“heart”
with
which we approach our work.
Heartland
ministers
are
well-known
through
the
interfaith
community,
through
collestive
and
individual
work.
In
2010,
the
Heartland
ADL
accepted
the
lead
responsibility
for
the
Annual
Interfaith
Thanksgiving
Ritual
Dinner,
an
event
which
became
an

event
in
1984.
In
its
first
year
as

Heartland
ADL
created
the

which
is
given
annually

The “Flame of Eternal Creation” signifies our belief
in the power of Divine Creativity
and our joyful participation in that process.
