We will come together as Catholics and Mennonites committed to peacemaking at a time of multiple challenges. Using the framework of resistance and resilience from the Potawatomi author Kaitlin Curtice, who spoke at the 2023 AMBS Rooted & Grounded/Bridgefolk Conference in Indiana, we will reflect on scripture and take part in a variety of spiritual practices from each of our traditions and beyond.
