Want more than just a conference? The Gandhi-King Convergence: from shared ideas to coordinated action.
The Gandhi-King Convergence is an opportunity for people from across the country and around the world to come together to vision, share ideas and resources, and further our work in a more unified and collaborative way. Participants will form issue-based working groups and engage in a process to share insights and experiences, find ways we can be of support to each other, and to create an action plan for the coming year. Presenters will act as resource agents in this process to provide guidance and support. We will also form a network so that these groups can stay connected and support each other in their common work throughout the year. These working groups will help us dig deeper and turn our knowledge into action!
Registration includes all this PLUS a Friday reception, lunch on Saturday, and the Saturday evening banquet.

Do you honestly believe non violence would work against Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot or Osama bin Laden? Read thy Reinhold Niebuhr and use serpentine wisdom even as you live with dovish gentleness--
