Amidst political discord and talks of annexation across the Canada-US border, what is the call of followers of Jesus to respond? MCC is hosting four webinars that will explore the power and possibility of nonviolence in light of U.S. aggression.
Join a series of online workshops designed to inspire reflection and action on our role as a peace church in light of discussions surrounding a potential forced annexation of Canada by the United States.
Each webinar will have a guest speaker and time for small group discussion.
While it's encouraged to attend all four sessions, you can still gain valuable insights if you're not able to attend them all.
