We need your imaginative power!

We need your imaginative power! If you thought General Assembly was strange in 2020, it's going to be even stranger in 2022! This year's assembly with be a hybrid model. We're going to need even more creative imaginative power! If this excites you, we'd love for you to be part of the General Assembly Working Group. We will start to meet again soon. The same General Assembly Working Group email will be used, so if you didn't receive emails last year from Timothy, please send him an email to sign up: timothywotring@gmail.com. Five congregations will host a disarming event by end of year Our first Guns 2 Gardens Action Circle is under way and we have five churches in Utah, Baltimore, Ohio, Atlanta, and California committed to hosting disarming events by the end of the year! Move your congregation from passion and study to action by signing up for the fall action circle which will offer support and training for your community to host its first disarming event in early 2022. The Guns to Gardens action circles are three sessions which will help you to bring your congregation on board, guide you through logistical concerns, and prepare you to care for those who will bring firearms for disarming. Check out the video of an AR-15 being disarmed in Houston on September 4th at a local congregation. Sign up for the Fall Action Circle Justice missing from the peace process After visiting the ETCR's*, Rev. Joey Haynes writes, "At the moment, justice seems to be missing from the peace process. On our recent trip to Colombia, we have had the opportunity to hear many stories of the ways in which the Colombian government is not fulfilling the Peace Accord agreements. Without this support, especially regarding land access and ownership, is it possible for ex-combatants to be fully reincorporated into civil society and create sustainable lives for themselves? For the population who experienced violence from ex-combatants, what repair is needed for reconciliation?" Read Rev. Joey Haynes reflections. *ETCR: Territorial Spaces for Training and Reincorporation (Espacios Territoriales de Capacitación y Reincorporación) are locations where FARC members are living in community while they work to reintegrate into civil society.  Presbyterian Peace Fellowship 845-786-6743 | presbypeacefellowship.org Instagram | Facebook | Twitter
