Post-Election Safe Space Gathering
Nov. 8, 2024, 4:00-6:00 p.m., Knox Room, Long Hall
MUI's H.O.P.E. Alliance will host a post-election safe space for ministry leaders to process, reflect, and organize. As a part of their work with the H.O.P.E. Alliance, MUI is seeking to address spaces where trauma and violence take place in communities, and regardless of the results of the upcoming elections, we know that congregations may find themselves in conflict. PTS professor Leanna Fuller will facilitate a session to help ministry leaders prepare to address their congregations on the Sunday following the elections, even if the final results might not yet be known.
