Bridges of Hope: A Community Conversation on Reconciliation

April 11, 2009

What does it mean when Paul writes, “God has given us the ministry of reconciliation“?  Come discuss its implications at this upcoming event!

Saturday, April 18, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

North United Methodist Church (NUMC), Fellowship Hall, at 3808 N. Meridian St., (free parking off of Illinois and 39th St., at back of the church)

This powerful workshop experience will be facilitated by Chris Rice, co-director of Duke Divinity School’s Center for Reconciliation and co-author of “Reconciling All Things: A Christian Vision for Justice, Peace, and Healing.” We will be encouraged with the difficult work of serving as one Body of Christ in our community and world. Participants will include both laity and clergy from surrounding churches and non-profit organizations who are interested in healing the divisions that separate us from one another as people of God, including racial, economic, denominational, class, and other social barriers.

The workshop is free of charge, but we will accept a free-will offering for lunch from the Unleavened Bread Cafe.

You may also purchase a copy of the book, “Reconciling All Things,” for $11.

The registration deadline is Tuesday, April 14. Call the NUMC front office 924-2612.

Please invite your friends and neighbors to participate in this powerful conversation. PDF Flyer Here.
