Louisville, KY, United States, 2008/02/02 - The Body of God is disenfranchised, hurting and in transition. As we go from one level of glory "to" another level, the transitory move is what we get stuck in. Kingdom Diversity 2008 is seeking to understanding the New Paradigm of the Move of God!.

For too long the Church has put people down and counted individuals out who are simply trying to live and co-exist in spite of religious intolerance, dogmatized rhetoric, and synicism.
With the emergence of many ministries that afford the opportunity for all people (regardless to life choices, situations, or circumstances) a viable experience of Godly relationships and opportunity to cut covenant and fully serve within ministries: coupled with the proliferation of books such as “God Is Not a Christian” by noted theologian and well known Bishop, Carlton D. Pearson (Pastor of New Dimensions in Tulsa, OK), we cannot possibly push the people that God would have us to reach to the side any longer.
Religious intolerance and religious discrimination must come to an end! Although we may not agree on all principles of life, however, our foundation is the same and it leads us all back to God.
Manifest Presence Ministries understand the principle of affording people the opportunity to worship God in Spirit and in Truth…to that end we have developed Kingdom Diversity Conference 2008 where we are “Embracing the Marginalized & Outcast as Family.”
Kingdom Diversity 2008 focuses on the diversity of the nature and the inclusiveness of God's Love while allowing the differing functions within the Body to be maintained and not as a snare to our own worship experience.
As John Seldon points out in Table Talk…"A glorious Church is like a magnificent feast; there is all the variety that may be; but everyone chooses out a dish or two that he likes, and lets the rest alone."
This is the dichotomy and separation that we are attempting to fuse and bring together; although we may never share with the same beliefs: we can however respect the belief systems of others and learn how to get along with one another wholeheartedly and bring this world out of the confusion and commotion that currently encapsulates it and into a peaceful co-existence amongst the inhabitants.
Kingdom Diversity 2008 plans to feature gospel choirs, soloists, musicians, performing artists, speakers, preachers, clinicians, and vendors from across the United States to offer a venue for STD related illnesses and diseases to be explored and preventative messages issued; to conduct a health fair, marketing trends and investment strategies that focus on the African-American family, and two benefit concerts that will go to aid HIV/AIDS research and development and cancer & heart disease centers nationwide!
Many other workshops ranging from health & wellness, to real estate and investment planning even to sex & spirituality will be featured at this Spiritual Convention aimed for the people of this world!
The Bible speaks of people being made free, this conference is the platform from which freedom will spring!
This will be a "not to miss" celebration of God's Inclusive Love for ALL humankind without regard to discrimination and biased practices.
The conference dates are July 20 - 26, 2008 in Louisville, KY!
