Preemptive Radical Inclusion September 17, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.Onlineand in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
We’ll explore some of the complicated parts of welcome and inclusion. How do we move from assimilation to inclusion? What are the boundaries around welcome? What does it mean to recenter a community toward those often marginalized? If you think you know what I have to say about this, you may be surprised!
We will Share the Plate with Peacebuilding Connections Peacebuilding Connections works to bring together broad and diverse individuals and organizations around nonviolent goals and objectives. The act of individuals and institutions working together within a community strengthens that community and makes it more resilient against future risks and conflict. Peacebuilding Connections’ projects celebrate and uplift communities. Peacebuilding Connections was founded by peacebuilder Bob Schlehuber in 2013. Click Here to Donate
