Countering the Rise of Religious Nationalism: The Global Dimension
The Symposium is pleased to welcome a team of international church leaders who are participating in the "Branches of Peace - Rauhan Oksat" workshop sponsored by the ELCA and the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission (FELM), a part of the Lutheran Church of Finland.
This workshop is the second of three dealing with the themes of peace and reconciliation, gender justice, advocacy and the rise in religious extremism and tribalism. Entitled "Peace and Public Witness: Countering the Rise of Religious Nationalism," it brings together leaders from Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Colombia, South Africa, Palestine, Finland, and the U.S. It will be exploring resources for advocacy and public witness and will travel from Washington, DC, to Gettysburg, PA, before joining us in Silver Spring, MD.
