People of God: Rise Up! The Kairos USA, Los Angeles Conference
People of God: Rise Up! The Kairos USA, Los Angeles Conference, on April 18, 2015. Held at Holy Family Catholic Church in South Pasadena, California, this collaborative effort will bring together people who yearn for peace and justice in our world.
The day-long event is being organized by Kairos USA and local faith-based and peace and justice organizations. Our goal is to mobilize American churches and communities in the greater Los Angeles area to respond faithfully and boldly to the ecumenical document written in 2009, "Kairos Palestine A Moment of Truth: A Word of Faith, Hope, and Love from the Heart of Palestinian Suffering."
Conference presentations will offer new insights into the Palestinian reality and guide participants through a process of theological reflection and discernment regarding options for action. The day will feature music, multi-media presentations, large group discussion, small group break-out sessions, opportunities for collaboration, and concrete ideas for advocacy and action.
The event will be held at the Holy Family Catholic Church, St. Joseph Center in South Pasadena, CA. Event will begin promptly at 830 AM and registration will begin at 800 AM.
