What
type of Briefings are there?
While
we offer All-Inclusive Briefings to pastors and ministers from a variety
of denominations; we also periodically offer specific Briefings, including
our African American Pastors Briefing, Student Leadership Briefing, and
Military Chaplains Briefing. Stay tuned to the site for these 2007 dates.
When
is the next Briefing?
While
we have concluded all 2006 Briefings we look forward to returning in Spring,
2007 for additional events in DC. Please check back with us in January
for the upcoming dates!
What
is the purpose of the Briefing?
This
is a unique educational and informative opportunity for ministers to hear
from the hearts of some of the top Christian congressional leaders in
the country. Our hope is that you will return home encouraged and educated
about the issues of the day that affect faith and family and that you
will be inspired to share with your congregations what they may do to
take a more active role in the political process.
Who
may attend a Briefing?
The
Congressional Pastors Briefings are intended for pastors and ministry
leaders - those who exercise substantial influence in the church.
What
about spouses?
We
invite spouses to participate with the pastor; however, due to limited
space and the nature of this event, children and additional family members
are not encouraged to attend.
What
is the cost?
There
is no charge for the Briefing; however, all attendees are responsible
for arranging and booking their own travel and accommodations.
What
is the itinerary?
The Briefing will kick off on Tuesday evening with the
Capitol Tour from 6PM-9PM. Events on Wednesday will run from 8AM-5PM.
See the Travel
Tips page for flight itinerary suggestions.
What
hotel should I use?
Please refer to the Travel
Tips page for suggested
hotels.
What
is the dress?
Business
casual for Tuesday evening (no tie) and business dress for Wednesday (suit/tie).
What
about luggage?
Please allow plenty of time for travel on Tuesday so that
you can check into your hotel before the Capitol Tour as there is not
a place to store luggage during the Tour.
Are
meals included?
WallBuilders will provide lunch on Wednesday.
What
if I am disabled?
Due to the layout of Washington, DC, much, much walking
is to be expected. All of the buildings are wheelchair accessible, but
if you have a question regarding you ability to participate, please let
us know.
May
I bring a "gift" for the speakers?
WallBuilders
Briefing policy prevents attendees from distributing gifts or flagging
down the speakers before or after their presentation during the Briefing.
Direct contact with the speakers needs to be arranged
with that speaker's office prior to your visit. (This means no
"pictures in the hall"!)
What
about photos?
While
photos are welcomed and encouraged for both the Capitol Tour and Briefing
session, please remember that our policy which does not
allow for personal photos with any of the speakers. Arrangements for personal
photos must be prearranged and confirmed through that individual speakers
office and may not take place during the WallBuilders Briefing session.
May
I audio/video record the Briefing?
Due
to the sensitive nature of the Briefing session, audio/video recording
is not permitted. However, snapshot cameras are welcome.
May
I audio/video record the Capitol Tour?
You
are welcome to bring your video recorder along for the Capitol Tour; however,
WallBuilders offers an identical 2 hour Spiritual
Heritage of the United States Capitol video/DVD for
sale and you will most likely enjoy the Tour and the experience inside
the Capitol more if you are not peering through your camera's viewfinder!
We
hope that this information is helpful! However, if you have additional
questions, please contact
Kim Armstrong by email at kim@wallbuilders.com
or by phone at 817-441-6044.
