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.
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 will still gain valuable insights if you're not able to attend them all.
Attendees are welcome to join from across Canada and the United States. Start times are listed below in other time zones.

Sunday, May 4th from 7:00pm – 8:30pm EST
Sunday, May 4th from 7:00pm – 8:30pm EST
We are a people of peace who have learned much about pursuing justice. How can we remember our history in a way that honours both the gifts we have to give and and the gifts we have received?
Session #2: Who Would Jesus Polarize?
Sunday, May 11th from 7:00pm - 8:30pm EST
Sunday, May 11th from 7:00pm - 8:30pm EST

Sunday, June 1st from 7:00pm-8:30pm EST
All around the world many people have freed themselves and secured justice by weaving together nonviolent resistance and peacebuilding. What can we learn from them?
Session #4: National Defense Without Weapons
