We live in a time that feels more polarized than ever, and it is hard to know what is true, what is knowable and what is trustworthy.

CSLI-Dallas presents
Following the Call to Biblical Peacemaking in the Midst of Political Polarization

 with Rev. Brandon Cleaver and Kathleen Durham 

Political polarization is constant in our society, but it becomes particularly divisive during election seasons. Jesus called for His followers to be "peacemakers" (Matt. 5:9) at all times. How can the church be agents of love and model civil disagreements without dividing over political differences?

Please join the C.S. Lewis Institute - Dallas as it hosts the Matthew 5:9 Fellowship as they help us consider this challenge. Featuring interactive workshops, this event will explore the dynamics that fuel toxic political polarization, what it means to be a peacemaker, and practical ways laypeople and leaders can address it.

Date:  Saturday, June 8, 2024
Speaker:  Rev. Brandon Cleaver & Kathleen Durham
Time:  9:00 – 2:30pm Central Time
Location:  Tyler Street Church | 927 W 10th St, Dallas, TX 75208
Cost: Free but registration is required!
