Peace Programs Held Earlier in 2008 August 1 - 6, 2008 Peace & Privilege — Linking Values & Action Peace Programs in 2005 – 2006 – 2007 — Return to Main Peace Page August 1 - 6, 2008 $525 (including program, meals & lodging) Commuter Rate - $325 (program & meals only) This challenging and moving week offers time for meaningful conversations, reflection and skill-building in the magnificent setting of The Mountain. We are delighted to again welcome Dr. Ken Nafziger, Professor of Music at Eastern Mennonite University. For the fourth consecutive year, Ken will offer his gifts of music, humor and extraordinary insight. Anyone who has participated in community singing with Ken talks about how it is an unexpected and unforgettable experience. Joining Ken will be two additional distinguished faculty. The Rev. Marti Keller, Assistant Minister for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, has spent more than 30 years in the social change movement, promoting “Tikkun Olam” (healing the world) and putting the UU faith in action on the community, state and national levels. She is a distinguished educator and spiritual leader whose Jewish background and Unitarian Universalist values are evident in both her wit and wisdom. The Rev. Glenn Johnson is currently the Administrator for Thomas Jefferson District of the Unitarian Universalist Association. An indication of his commitment to interfaith work is demonstrated by this very position, for Glenn is an ordained Baptist minister. His perspectives on religion and its potential to unite, rather than divide us will bring a thoughtful new dimension to our conversations. Our facilitators will share their own perspectives on peace, justice, privilege and power, and how each works to transform personal privilege into action for change. Throughout the week, Ken, Marti and Glenn will facilitate in-depth discussions and exercises to help increase our understanding of privilege and the role it plays in our peace work. Challenging questions and reflection will help the group develop possibilities for action they can take back to their community. Powerful community singing each day with Ken will strengthen your need to explore this challenging issue. Of course, there will be plenty of time for reflection and renewal in the awe-inspiring beauty of The Mountain. From the heart-wrenching to the hilarious, our conversations and activities are bound to refresh and energize all. This is a week to come prepared to open to new ideas and ways of thinking, then leave feeling inspired and energized to do the work! Click here to download and print a copy of the flyer.
