Elephant at the Border: A Peace Church Response to Annexation
Amidst political discord and talks of annexation across the Canada-US border, what is the call to followers of Jesus to respond? MCC is hosting four thought-provoking webinars that will explore learning from nonviolent power, peace possibilities and inter-national solidarity.
Session #1: Discipleship and Citizenship
