​
Following up on The Defusing Hatred Program, the Everyday Peacemaking Program explores practical ideas for staying in conversation with others, conflict management, and how our spiritual practices help us stay calm in tense situations. Then we break into small groups to create a response to a particular, potential situation.
​
We host this program with the hope of building communities of care and protection of the vulnerable around us, especially in this time of heightened tension and public acts of aggression. We recorded this program on July 28, 2021. Please share with your congregation’s educational forums at our YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIyDmLizTmo&t=100s
