Focused on Peacemaking

The theme of this year’s Annual Gathering at Gordon College in Wenham, MA July 31-Aug 3 is both relevant and challenging. Being peacemakers who take the Shalom of Christ into the marketplace, our homes and communities is one of the significant issues faced by those committed to wholeheartedly following the teachings of Scripture. Workshop sessions planned for the Annual Gathering focus on topics that will both enhance understanding of the nature of peacemaking and provide practical resources to successfully apply peacemaking principles to many of the personal, church and cultural issues that we face everyday.

Check out the following topics and be sure to secure your reservations to attend the Annual Gathering. Please note that online registration for the Annual Gathering will close on JUNE 22nd due to the lodging and meal policies at Gordon College.
