Community of Christ Greater Kansas City Justice and Peace Action Team Presents
Living the Nonviolent Life,
With John Dear
A Day-long Workshop Exploring Active Nonviolence
8:30 a.m.–4 p.m., Saturday, March 7, 2020
at Avila University, Kansas City, MO.
Rev. John Dear
Longtime activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Rev. John Dear will lead three sessions in a day-long workshop on active nonviolence based on his recent best-selling book, The Nonviolent Life. He will propose that the best way forward and the hope for us all—personally, spiritually, nationally and globally—is through active nonviolence, in the tradition of Dr. King and Gandhi.
To explore these traditions and examine their application today, John will hold three sessions—each beginning with his input, then small group discussion, and finally, large group discussion, on the following topics:
a) Nonviolence toward ourselves
b) Nonviolence toward all others, all creatures, and Mother Earth
c) Nonviolence as a global grassroots movement for the transformation of the world into a new culture of justice and peace
Join us for a great day to deepen our lives in the way of active non- violence. Registration: $25 for adults, $10 for students, including lunch.
