Ballroom C, Third Floor

100 Morrisey Blvd.

Boston, MA

 

Faith leaders and members of the wider CMM community are cordially invited to join UMass Boston's Graduate Dispute Resolution Programs for a very special event with two  distinguished visiting Nigerian interfaith peacemakers: a remarkable tale of religious peacemaking and reconciliation from two men who started out as leaders of militant Christian and Muslim youth gangs and became grassroots peace builders.

 

The UMass Boston Graduate Program in Dispute Resolution is partnering with the Interfaith Mediation Center on an exchange program for Nigerian youth leaders. Supported by a grant from the US State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the program will bring 15 Nigerians to Boston in June for 3 weeks of intensive training in conflict resolution skills. 

 

Please RSVP to akern@coopmet.org if you plan to come. Please bring others from your congregation, agency, school or community for this extraordinary evening.
