INVITE: Integrating nonviolence into theological education
Are you curious about what nonviolence can mean in Christian community? Do you wonder about constructive ways to engage public conflict? Have you found yourself drawn to nonviolent civil protests?
INVITE is a group that was begun as a student-faculty-staff-alumni movement in the spring of 2004. In the last few years it has lain somewhat dormant, but we are reviving it this spring in the wake of all that is happening. We plan to meet on the following Tuesdays at 4 p.m. CT on zoom, alternating between simply checking in with each other and reading the book ‘The Quaking of America’ by Resmaa Menakem.

• March 4 – check in
• March 18 – share about the book
• April 1 – check in
• April 22 – share about the book

For more information please sign up to be on our contact list. Details about past work are available on the INVITE website.
