Bryan and Stephanie Carey

PEACEBUILDING CONSULTANTS & TRAINERS | BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

Since 2016, Bryan and Stephanie have lived in the Balkans, where they learn alongside and support the work of Muslim, Catholic, and Orthodox peacebuilders.

Bryan Carey - Peacebuilding Consultant, Conflict Transformation Trainer, and PCI Director of International Peacebuilding

Bryan is a peacebuilding consultant, conflict transformation trainer, and Director of International Peacebuilding at Peace Catalyst International. He hosts workshops, conducts training, and teaches about peace-oriented theology, peacebuilding practices, and how Christian groups can get involved in community peacebuilding. He regularly organizes learning experiences for international and regional Balkan participants that cultivate understanding and empathy for the narratives of other groups, ultimately with the aim to deepen relational connections that allow for collaborative work. 

Since 2006 Bryan has been drawn to cross-cultural relationships and has enjoyed inviting friends and acquaintances to interact with and learn from the experiences of those who are different from them. He has worked in various capacities alongside pastors in Peru and Zambia, Muslim refugees and members of the homeless community in the United States, and Bosnian Muslim, Catholic and Orthodox peacebuilders in the Balkans. In his graduate level work at Candler School of Theology at Emory University, he studied justice, peacebuilding, and conflict transformation, examining the ambiguity of religious faith and how Christians and people of faith might contribute to a just peace.
