This call is hosted by the Christian Peacebuilding Network (CPN), a multi-org group we helped found, and is part of a series of monthly conversations to help connect Christian peacebuilders and discuss themes related to peacebuilding and the Christian faith.

The Christian Peacebuilding Network (CPN) works to equip, support, & amplify the work of the Christian peacebuilding movement. CPN hosts online meetings on a monthly basis, alternatively focusing on specific themes that are introduced by a guest speaker or facilitator and creating space to connect and network among its members.

This bi-monthly connection and networking meeting gathers diverse Christian peace builders from around the globe in order to share challenges and insights, and explore collaborative opportunities. Together and in breakout rooms, we create space to share about our local work, best practices, challenges, insights, and achievements so that we might be better equipped to mobilize Christians into peacebuilding work and address the divisions and conflicts in our communities. As we connect regularly as a network, our intention is to amplify our individual efforts and sustain our commitment to follow Jesus as part of God’s mission toward holistic and just peace.
