In the aftermath of recurrent gun violence in
America and perpetuation of endless war in Syria,
the Historic Peace Churches (HPC):
Friends/Quakers, The Brethren, and The Mennonites,
of Florida are launching a new initiative to
invite and to involve other churches, religious
groups, and organizations to attend, and to
participate in the Annual Gathering, responsive to
the urgency of local and international peace
issues.
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Deri Ronis, of the
Conflict Resolution Centre of Sarasota, FL. She
is a specialist in conflict resolution and
international peace studies, and has been
providing innovative seminars, talks and workshops
for over two decades.
Small group break-out sessions will be facilitated
in four theme areas: Non-violent Social Change;
Immigration Reform; Economic Justice; and
Militarism. Resource materials will be provided
from the HPC, and invitees describing what they
are doing in program activities; and discussion
will focus upon how we could all work more closely
together in our actions and resource sharing,
coordinating our planning to have more impact on
government, schools, media, and other institutions
and organizations.
Registration and cost information are available from
Phil Lersch (727)544-2911, or PhilLersch@verizon.net
