Please do not move the Big Tent. I am coming from Philadelphia and I have already paid for my travel arrangements. I know I will lose a lot of money. If the Big Tent move where is possible site ? When will be notified so changes can be made?

Big Tent will be in Indianapolis! “ Changes to Indiana legislation removed the most troublesome of the Arizona-style anti-immigration provisions. We believe that all Presbyterians will be welcomed warmly in Indianapolis at the Big Tent gathering this summer.” —Rev.
