General Sessions

Cory Lockhart and Muriel Schmid
Christian Peacemaker Teams places teams at the invitation of local peacemaking communities that are confronting situations of lethal conflict. These teams support and amplify the voices of local peacemakers who risk injury and death by waging nonviolent direct action to confront systems of violence and oppression. Cory and Muriel will share about CPT’s important work.
Friday at 6:00 pm.

Drew G. I. Hart
”Am I My Brother’s Keeper?: Race, the Love Gap, and our Guns”
Drew Hart will explore the intersection of gun violence and anti-black racism. He will remind us that the church’s public witness as a people that love others is at stake if we do not empathize and act out of compassion for others in view of the anti-black death-dealing patterns unique to our country. Therefore, Drew will turn our attention to the complicated legacy of gun violence and its disproportionate impact on black people. In response, he will unveil the love gap that exists in response to these particular cycles of violence. Thankfully, we are not without hope, because in the Jesus story we encounter a peacemaking intervention for the idolatry of carrying a ‘piece’ in this land that has led to the annual 30,000 deaths every year in our country.
Saturday at 9:00 am.

Shane Claiborne
Parkland. Las Vegas. Dallas. Orlando. San Bernardino. Paris. Charleston. Sutherland Springs. Newtown. These cities are now known for the people who were shot and killed in them. With less than 5 percent of the world’s population, the people of the US own nearly half the world’s guns. America also holds the record for the most gun deaths—homicide, suicide, and accidental gun deaths—at around ninety a day and about thirty-three thousand per year. Some people say it’s a heart problem. Others say it’s a gun problem. The authors of Beating Guns believe it’s both.
