Youth gather at Disney for worship, challenge

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — More than 2,200 Christian teenagers — Baptists, Episcopalians and Presbyterians — explored common and distinct dimensions of their faith during the first Faith in 3D conference Jan. 13–16 at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

With high-energy worship and intentionally diverse small groups, youth were exposed to three expressions of Christianity while enjoying and learning in the Disney theme parks. Produced by Birmingham-based Passport, Faith in 3D was sponsored by the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, Presbyterian Church USA and the Episcopal Church. The conference also raised more than $11,500 through a special offering that will be divided between Hurricane Katrina relief efforts and Watering Malawi, a well-digging and irrigation project.
