Lenten Webinar Series: "Ashes to Action: Lent as Non-Violent Resistance"
Join the 2‑hour interactive webinar series for practical tools in nonviolent resistance and insights into the power of noncooperation.
As we approach the Lenten season, communities across the United States and around the world are confronting growing threats to democracy and civil and human rights. Lent is not only a season of reflection; it is a season of repentance, resistance, and courageous prophetic witness. It calls us to denounce systems of oppression and turn toward God’s promise of justice, dignity, and new life.
This 2-hour interactive webinar series will provide participants with practical tools for nonviolent resistance training and examine the power of noncooperation for individuals, local congregations and annual conferences on faithful resistance.
