Registration Now Open for “Unholy Trinity” Conference
Bishops United Against Gun Violence to host April 2017 event in Chicago
Registration is now open for “Unholy Trinity: the Intersection of Racism, Poverty and Gun Violence” a conference sponsored by the Episcopal organization Bishops United Against Gun Violence on April 20-22, 2017 at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.
The conference will feature a “three-note” panel of African-American leaders offering perspectives on poverty, racism and gun violence and include Bible study focused on the conference themes and a public liturgy in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago.
Workshops at the conference are devoted to helping participants work with police, young people, legislators, the media, anti-violence advocacy groups and other constituencies to reduce gun violence. “Our goal is to continue creating a network of Episcopalians inspired and equipped to work against gun violence and the social forces that drive it,” said Bishop Mark Beckwith of Newark, one of three co-conveners of Bishops United.
Registration for the conference will be capped at about 250. Registration and more information is available at bishopsagainstgunviolence.org/unholy-trinity/.
Bishops United Against Gun Violence is an ad hoc group of nearly 70 Episcopal bishops who have come together to explore means of reducing the appalling levels of gun violence in our society, and to advocate for policies and legislation that save lives.
