Omekongo Dibinga has been invited by Odyssey Networks to provide the keynote address for its annual member gathering. The theme of the conference this year is to explore the role of faith in politics, the moral issues and the impact of Millennials going into the 2012 presidential election. The mission of Odyssey Networks is to tell stories of faith on the front line and provide a balanced faith-based perspective beyond the current news headlines. This conference will bring together millennials of different backgrounds to express their concerns to that end. Panelists include Frank Fredericks, Linda Sarsour, Chris Stedman, Joanna Ware, David Gibson, Jaweed Kaleem, Sarah Posner, Bob Smietana, and Eboni Marshall Turman.

Says Omekongo of this event: "I am honored and excited to be part of this historic event. Odyssey Networks has a proven history of engaging global citizens in a non-biased way on issues of faith and coming together to make peace. They believe peace is possible through action and dialogue and I believe in that as well. I hope that everyone who is able to attend will come and share their story as well as be inspired by the great participants of the conference.
