A Conference for Peacemakers
Sponsored by the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America
July 20-25, 2009 - Weber State University, Ogden, Utah, USA
This summer, peacemakers from around the world will gather on the beautiful campus of Weber State University located in Ogden, Utah in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains - and we hope you'll be one of them!
We've chosen to be at Weber State because it is easy and affordable to reach, is welcoming of diversity, offers a top-notch facility, is in a gorgeous location, and allows great vacation opportunities before and after conference.
We'll be led by an amazing line-up of speakers, artists, and musicians including:
 Ken Sehested, BPFNA's founding director and our keynote speaker, will reflect on the past and future of peacemaking.
 Paul Dekar, a long-time peace activist, will offer Prayers for Activists each morning.
 Rita Nakashima Brock, noted co-author of the award-winning Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire, will lead Bible studies on the earthly meaning of Paradise.
 Greg Ledbetter, pastor and musician, will lead creative nightly worship services.
 Kate Campbell, the celebrated singer-songwriter, will share stories in song.
 Angela Yarber, dancer and educator, will lead as artist-in-residence using her talents in dance, painting and theater.
 D.E. (Darrell) Adams, special guest singer-songwriter, will lead times of music.
 Janet Chisholm, a nationally-known trainer, will offer an optional intensive workshop track focused on Nonviolence Training for Personal and Social Change.
As always, we'll have workshops on a wide variety of topics, programs for children and youth, special gatherings for young adults, fun free-time activities, after-hours events and more!
This is a conference for everyone who longs for the spirituality, inspiration, skills, knowledge, and community to support a life of peace rooted in justice.
"When there is justice, then peace will come."
