GATHERING VOICES IN CONVERSATION WITH SOLDIER TURNED PEACEMAKER, online

Tues Jan 23, 1 pm Pacific time, Zoom

Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR-USA) executive director Ariel Gold in conversation with soldier-turned-peacemaker, Diana Oestrich. Diana Oestreich served 407 days as a combat medic in Iraq. But when she was commanded to run over an Iraqi child to keep her battle buddies safe, she became a peacemaker instead. She is the author of the beautiful and gut-wrenching memoir, Waging Peace, which exposes the false divide between loving our country and living out our faith’s call to choose love over fear.

Speaking across the country, she empowers us to identify our own rural, urban, political or religious divides to cross our own “enemy lines” in order to remake the world and heal all that’s tearing us apart.
