An invitation to Gospel Non-violent Companionship
Peacemaking is a radical commitment–a demanding journey that needs to be shared in a community of prayer and support. These monthly sessions are an invitation to gospel companionship: breaking the Bread of the Gospel in communal prayer, mutual support, and shared accountability. To begin with, we will use the five-session structure of The Risk of the Cross: Living Gospel Nonviolence in the Nuclear Age (required reading for participants), with an introductory session facilitated by Art Laffin, the author.
Join with us in our Gospel Non-violent support group. We meet monthly on Thursdays, at 3 p.m. Eastern Time:
