PROMOTING AN ETHIC OF RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS
Join us on May 22 for Uncovering the Roots of Violence: New Perspectives on Domestic Violence, Social Justice, and Faith—an extraordinary FREE online event that brings together three pioneers dedicated to changing cultures of violence at their deepest roots: Dr. Riane Eisler, President of the Center for Partnership Studies; Julie Owens, Domestic Violence Consultant and Victim Advocate; and Dr. Ron Clark, Minister, Agape Church of Christ.

Moderated by Vanessa Timmons, CEO, Oregon Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.

In this moment of #MeToo, #EnoughisEnough, and #BlackLivesMatter, our essential task is to uncover the roots of violence including its roots in our religious traditions and faith communities. In this dialogue we'll share fresh perspectives on the stories we have lived by, and explore what it really takes to end the pandemic of violence against women, children, and other vulnerable peoples.

May 22, 2018, 11am-12:30pm Pacific/2-3:30 pm Eastern
It's free! Sign up today.
