During a time in our country where there is increasing division and violence, how should we faithfully respond? Join Mennonite Central Committee U.S., in partnership with Mennonite Action, September 3-7 in the Chicago area to dive deeper into Anabaptist traditions of nonviolent resistance and to learn how to embody these practices in our current social context. During Faith in Action Peace Camp, we will hear from MCC partners and local leaders who have lived out their faith while standing in solidarity with communities most vulnerable to violence.
During the camp we will explore:
- Theological grounding for activism and nonviolence
- History of peace movements around the world
- Stories from Chicago partners practicing nonviolence during immigration raids
- How to be trauma informed in this work
Peace Camps are one way to encourage and support the next generation of the Church to live out an active faith as peacemakers. Young adults, ages 18-30, are invited to apply for this exciting and timely experience. MCC covers all costs of travel (does not include airfare outside of the U.S. and Canada), lodging and meals beyond the $250 registration fee.
Please reach out with any questions or concerns. Otherwise, head over to our website to apply by June 21. Don’t miss the incredible opportunity to put theory into practice!
