Building Bridges
Dialogue on Race and other important issues of our time
Tuesday 9:00 am – 5 pm
Wednesday 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
In an increasingly polarized and violent world, there are few places where people can have a reasonable and constructive dialogue about race relations and other important issues of our time. Imagine the churches in your neighborhood having the ability to provide gracious time and place for truth-seeking dialogue that can achieve non-violent mutual understanding.
Participants will:
- Experience a full dialogue process on race relations
- Learn how to provide hospitality and prepare people for dialogue, not debate.
- Learn how to invite people from their church and neighborhood to come to an initial dialogue to achieve mutual understanding through deep listening
- Learn how to access the Building Bridges dialogue curriculum to continue their development as dialogue facilitators by participating in future KI webinars.
