Conflict Transformation Workshop: April 24, 2004 

The Peacemakers Mission Group is sponsoring a one-day workshop on conflict transformation led by Lee McKenna duCharme, who is on the staff of the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America. Lee has extensive international experience, including leading conflict transformation workshops in war-torn areas of the Philippines. Conflict transformation seeks to find a common ground among those experiencing conflict in order to transform the conflict into a creative opportunity. The workshop will focus on the theory and practice of conflict transformation as well as stories from BPFNA’s work in other parts of the world. We’ll begin at 9 A.M. and finish by 5 P.M. Lee will lead a shorter workshop with the youth on Friday evening and will also preach on Sunday morning. Attendance will be limited, and pre-registration is required. The cost is $15, including lunch. Please complete a Registration form and place it with your check in the offering plate, or mail it to the church. The check should be payable to Oakhurst Baptist Church. Please put “CT workshop” on the “for” line. Deadline for registration is April 1.

The class meets at 9:45 on Sunday mornings in the top floor of the education building.
