Faithful Leadership in a Polarized Age: Our Calling as Peacemakers in our Time
February 2-3, 2024
6:30-8:30pm Friday | 8:30am-2:00pm Saturday
Location: Redeemer Presbyterian Church
"What does it mean to be a peacemaker in a time marked by so much conflict and division? Is it possible to remain faithfully engaged and serve in my context of calling when there are so many landmines and change is so rapid? Is there an alternative when withdrawal, tribalism, and culture war are so common, even within the Church?
What difference would it make if every follower of Christ in Austin kept Kingdom priorities central and these were prioritized above our political perspectives?
This local conference is dedicated to helping you explore these critical questions and to connecting you with others in our community who are seeking to be faithful.
Join us and others who are prayerfully seeking to begin and extend the conversation on taking up our Kingdom identity as peacemakers in our contexts of calling, and beyond!"
