Convocation of Peacemakers
April 15-17, 2010
a national gathering of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship to deepen the commitment to nonviolence and radical discipleship in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship invites you into a hard conversation about nonviolence, the best way to respond to violence in our time, and the future of our church. Expect your own beliefs to be tested as we strategize about how best to follow Jesus' command to ‘love your enemies' in a world increasingly addicted to war.
This conference will be equal parts inspiration, introspection, learning, strategizing, and building up the community of followers of Jesus. The format includes keynote speeches by the Rev. Dr. Obery Hendricks, workshops on skill building and current PPF work, and ‘open space' for convocation participants to set their own agenda.
Come to the Convocation and help shape our denomination's vision for peace.
The Convocation will be held at Stony Point Center in Stony Point, NY, from Thursday, April 15, through Saturday, April 17.
