Summer Learning for Church Leaders (Pastors, Vicars, Priests, Lead Elders and people training for the ministry)

July 16-August 20
Wednesdays, 1:30pm USA Eastern / 6:30pm GMT+1

God's reign is characterized by shalom, a holistic just peace in which all relationships are restored and made right. So if God's mission is to establish the holistic shalom of God's kingdom, then our Christian vocation and calling is to follow Jesus into the sacred, healing work of peacebuilding. 

Join this 6-week online small group to introduce peace-oriented theology, conflict transformation, and peacebuilding skills. As peacebuilders, we recognize that conflict unveils ruptured relationships, both interpersonally and between groups, so conflict can become an opportunity to work toward deeper connection, justice, and God's shalom. 

This small group is for church leaders (Pastors, Vicars, Priests, Lead Elders and people training for the ministry) who are curious about how their faith and peacebuilding fit together, want to begin learning about how to live as peacebuilders, or hope to lead such conversations in their community. This small group is intended as a launching pad to help you grasp the scope and beauty of God’s shalom vision as we learn to follow Jesus on his peacebuilding mission and to provide resources and support for you and your friends on the peacebuilding journey.
