Building Peace from the Ground Up
Saturday 13th March 2021
online via Zoom
In the past years Church and Peace invited members and friends of the Britain and Ireland region to a day conference in Birmingham. In 2021 we will move this event online and warmly invite you to join a day conference of talks, workshops and worship exploring how to respond to hate, and how to build the church up as a place active for peace.
It will be held via zoom and is organised by Church and Peace and the Fellowship of Reconciliation UK.
