For as long as dominant Christianity has preached a gospel of fear, control, and conformity, there have been believers and communities on the margins living out a better story, a counter-narrative pointing toward a faith rooted in love, justice, and peace. Join Ciara Taylor from Freedom Church of the Poor, Diana Oestreich from The Waging Peace Project, and Peter Digitale Anderson from Peace Catalyst International for a lively conversation about movement building in the church, growing and embodying a liberating faith, and charting a path forward in the years to come. 

Join Peter Digitale Anderson and Steven Schallert for a dialogue on social movements, civil resistance, and nonviolent action. They will reflect on both the tensions present in such spaces, and the hope they have as they see people strive to change narratives and create a better story for themselves and their communities.

In a time when building just and peaceful communities requires so much change, it can be confusing and overwhelming to understand  how to get involved. Beyond familiar activities like attending a protest or volunteering with a nonprofit, how does social change actually occur? And where do our own unique gifts and passions fit it?
