Birthing the Peace of Christ: An Advent Series on Gospel Nonviolence: Complete Series (online)
Michelle Sherman, Anne McCarthy, OSB, Johnny Zokovitch and Josephine Garnem
December 6 - 20, 2022
The Series:
The Peace of Christ stands in contrast to the Pax Romana, the famous way the Romans created peace in their empire through violence and oppression. Today we still long for true and lasting peace. Let Advent be an opportunity for you to bring Christ’s peace into the world. Join leaders from the Pax Christi movement to reflect on nonviolence as a spiritual practice.
