Welcome Messagefrom President Larry Swartz
Welcome to the 103rd Congress of the International New Thought Alliance.

It is my wish that everyone who has made the effort to attend will leave at the end of the week spiritually refreshed and renewed. It is my wish that new friendships can he kindled and ongoing friendships renewed and strengthened. We are all in this together, and the journey is one of ever more deeply remembering that in Truth we already are what we sometimes think we are seeking. May this week contain many aha moments as conversations are enjoyed and speakers are heard.
Welcome. I am glad you are here. You honor me and each who serve within the INTA by your presence. May this be a positive and memorable time for everyone.
