Peace Laureate Wisdom in Conversation

February 26, 2015 @ 7:00 am - 9:00 pm

Free

YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THIS!

“During these times, big events and protests are not always the most effective means to peace. Relationships are the means to the end we wish to see. Coming together courageously into face-to-face conversations, with compassion, in public spaces or in our living rooms helps to overcome fears that can rise during tenuous and violent times.” Rabbi Samuel Stahl

What the world needs now more than ever are the tools and means of Compassion! By invitation of San Antonio’s 2014 Peace Laureates,
Rabbi Samuel and Lynn Stahl, other Laureates are being called together into a conversation about a world spiraling out of control.

How do we come together face-to-face in honesty and compassion? What does that look like?

Come, see, and hear the wisdom-in-conversation between SA Peace Laureates: Rosie Castro (2015 Laureate), Rabbi Samuel and Lynn Stahl
(2014), Sr. Teresa Maya (2013), Imam Omar Shakir (2012), Jane and Woody Tuck (2010) as they converse about the corrosive and
destructive power of prejudice in our world.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26
WHITLEY CENTER AT OBLATE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY
285 Oblate Drive, San Antonio
7 PM
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC – INVITE OTHERS

“We live with the dysfunction of partisan behaviors and believe we must and can do better. We have faith in the good will, intelligence
and power of citizens. It is time to rebuild respectful civil discourse while embracing our core shared values. Adversarial solutions will not create the solutions to the big challenges we face this century. We must learn to engage in collaborative problem solving – holding the tension of our differences while working together with respect and an open heart we can create solutions that are better than any group alone could devise.” Living Room Conversation Project

Open your ears. Open your minds. Open your hearts. Come.
