"Building Peace in a World at War"

Our news feeds are filled with conflict from violent confrontations in almost every continent to divisive elections at home. Those of us that yearn for peace can often feel powerless when faced with such huge problems. So how should we respond as individuals, communities, and the Church? 

The Fellowship of Reconciliation, Anglican Pacifist Fellowship, Pax Christi and CHIPS invite you to join us for this weekend conference where we will be unpacking some of these complicated issues giving time to think, learn, and create.
