LaPaz Summit

LaPaz Peacemaking and Justice Summit: April 20-21, 2012 in Pasadena, CA Peace, equity, and justice are attributes of God’s Kingdom.

On Friday and Saturday, April 20-21, 2012, a coalition of faith, academic, and community partners will sponsor "LaPaz: Peacemaking and Justice Summit." LaPaz Summit will gather together church and community leaders across San Gabriel Valley in common purpose. This event will provide learning, capacity enrichment, and networking opportunities under leadership learning tracks that will include trans

formational leadership, humanity and justice, community development, community organizing, peacemaking, and the missional church. These attributes should characterize life in our neighborhoods, too; yet, there is a disparity of need that surrounds us in our communities and in the global community beyond. God’s love is the transforming agent and it commissions each one of us to become part of transforming social dimensions toward justice and peace, toward the values of the Kingdom of God. God has called his people to actively, strategically and powerfully utilize their capacities to share his peace, stand for his justice, and demonstrate his transforming grace. LaPaz Summit will give a fresh Kingdom perspective on the purpose, principles and practices of ministry and mission among those on the margins of the human community. At LaPaz, activists, practitioners, theologians, and scholars will challenge the Church in this missional vision. Mobilizing for justice begins with a theological framework, shared values, and effective community development and community organizing models. The Church needs transformational ministry models that hinge on a vision of a just world, meet the felt-needs of those being served, and strive for human progress and sustainable development. LaPaz Summit is sponsored by Azusa Pacific University-School of Theology; Compassion Creates Change; Clergy Community Coalition; Fuller Theological Seminary; Los Angeles District Church of the Nazarene; and, San Gabriel Valley Housing and Homeless Coordinating Council. The summit will be held at Pasadena First Church of the Nazarene. For more information or to register, visit LaPaz Summit's website: www.lapazsummit.org; or, contact Selena Gabriel, LaPaz Summit Convener by email [email protected] or call 626-351-2417. The summit's fee is $25 per person. Need-based registration scholarships are available. What is God’s view of service? What does his word say about oppression, justice and those living in marginalized conditions? What is the mission of the Church in response to inadequate housing, food insecurity, or community violence? If these questions interest you, register today for this transformational learning experience.
