For more than 50 years, the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change has been a global champion of Dr. King’s philosophy and methodology of nonviolence. The King Center’s high-impact Nonviolence365® Education and Training is an immersive program to help individuals and organizations drive transformational outcomes and reshape culture through the power of nonviolence. Their approach to achieving equitable and positive social change is rooted in the belief that nonviolence is a way of life.

The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary Metro-Urban Institute’s H.O.P.E. Alliance has invited the King Center to Pittsburgh for a one-day interactive “Disciplined Disruption: A Nonviolent Response to Injustice” training to equip community members with practical tools applying Kingian Nonviolence in the City of Pittsburgh.

The H.O.P.E. Alliance at the Metro-Urban Institute of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary works with congregations and grassroots organizations in Pittsburgh to address trauma in communities with significant physical and structural violence and loss. The H.O.P.E. Alliance serves as a convening and equipping space anchored by Jeremiah 29:11, believing God desires a future full of hope and not harm for all of God’s creation. H.O.P.E. is a double acronym for Honoring Our Personhood Everyday and Healing on Purpose in Every way.

Breakfast and lunch are included.
