Our world has rarely felt more polarized. Division and discord on the crisis in the Holy Land and a contentious election year raise concerns that can make us feel helpless. Yet we have an opportunity to help our communities better address some of these pressing issues through peacemaking.
On Friday, May 10, join Trinity Church Wall Street for an evening workshop with The Telos Group president and co-founder Greg Khalil, as he introduces Telos’s “Principles and Practices of Peacemaking” and offers insight on how to apply this framework to social moments. Registrants will come away with tools to build lasting peace and justice in the face of conflict and inequality, and work towards healing and repair.
Additional two-day workshops coming in July and October:
- Peacemaking as Christian Practice in a World of Conflict: Friday, July 12, 6–9pm; Saturday, July 13, 8:30am–5pm and 6:30–8pm
- Peacemaking in a Divided America: Friday, October 4, 6–9 pm; Saturday, October 5, 8:30am–5pm and 6:30–8pm
