The following call has been sounded for Community of Christ:
Resolved, that over the next three years Community Community of Christ members and leaders discuss the role nonviolence plays in the pursuit of "peace on and for the Earth" (Doctrine and Covenants 165:1d) and in the life and mission of the church.

In response to this resolution of the 2019 World Conference, the Justice and Peace Action Team of Central USA and Midlands Mission Centers will host a worship service and dialogue featuring John Dear, an internationally recognized voice and leader for peace and nonviolence. He will propose that creative nonviolence is the new hallmark of Christianity and the measure of our discipleship.

All are welcome to this time of worship and dialogue, in the spirit of reverence and mutual regard. Bring Your Friends!
