Cultivating Peace in a Divided World
Equipping Christian Leaders for Peacemaking and Faith in Action
Join us for an engaging online workshop where we'll explore the connection between Christian faith and peacemaking. This session will involve thoughtful reflection and hands-on activities. With breakout sessions, group discussions, and case studies, you'll walk away with practical tools and strategies to address divisions and lead with compassion and integrity in a polarized world.
This workshop is presented by the Polaris Young Adult Leadership Network at Princeton Theological Seminary and led by Eddie Olewinski, who served as one of the network’s inaugural advisors. Eddie is a graduate student at Georgetown University specializing in National Security and Emergency Management. With extensive experience in emergency management at various levels, Eddie employs a whole-community approach, driven by Christian virtues and a dedication to service. Eddie’s work focuses on preventing domestic terrorism, violent extremism, and radicalization among young adults, and he co-founded "Talk With Me: Debate to Deflate Hate," an initiative combating misinformation and hate speech through debate skills training for educators and community leaders nationwide.
