Wilt Thou be Made Whole? 2018 Annual Faith Leaders Gathering
hosted by the Florida Council of Churches

Thursday-Friday, Nov. 29-20, 2018
Mt. Olive AME Church
600 Jones St, Clearwater, FL 33755

A day of profound reflection on the church’s role in God’s response to the cries of suffering in society at this critical moment of transition.

Workshop leader David Anderson Hooker, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, and long-term member of JustPeace Center for Mediation and Conflict Transformation (UMC).

Dr. Hooker will help us understand the church’s unique, multidimensional position for determining society’s underlying narrative and lead us in crafting a new and preferred narrative for Florida that incorporates biblical justice, compassion, and redemption.
