Building Bridges: A Conversation with Jerusalem Peacebuilders: Young Leaders for Peace

What happens when Christian, Jewish, and Muslim teenagers spend a summer living, learning, and talking together? Join us on Sunday, August 9, as participants in this year's Jerusalem Peacebuilders (JPB) program share their experiences and reflect on how dialogue, friendship, and shared learning can transform lives. During this special presentation in Reynolds Hall, students will offer firsthand stories about building relationships across religious and cultural differences, developing leadership skills, and discovering hope in places often marked by division. Co-founded by the Rev. Nicholas Porter and Stuart Kensinger of Palmer Episcopal Church in Houston, Jerusalem Peacebuilders is an interfaith leadership organization that brings together Christian, Jewish, and Muslim teens from around the world. Each summer, participants gather in the United States and Europe for intensive leadership institutes designed to foster understanding, strengthen communication, and equip young people to become peacemakers in their own communities. Come hear these remarkable young leaders share what they've learned--and how genuine conversation with people of different faiths can build bridges of understanding in an increasingly divided world. All are welcome.
