The circles will build connections where collaborations can happen when preparing sermons, Bible studies, course syllabi and lectures, and strategies for local and national engagement with leaders.

Collaboration Circles
Resisters Retreat
The Courageous Resisters Retreat is a mini-conference and retreat space for project participants to Practice the Pause. The retreat is designed for deep and generative conversations, reflections, and strategizing as participants work through identifying the concepts that are not taught in the classrooms, churches, or communities to prepare people to live out their Christian social witness in this current moment.
