Join The Center for Social Justice & Reconciliatio

Join The Center for Social Justice & Reconciliation for their next Dangerous Dialogue on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at 7pm ET!

The inaugural address for the CSJR was called “Just Jesus.” It was clearly a play on words by Rev. Dr. Brian Blount, who utilized this concept to help us identify the authentic Jesus, his mission, and his message. As we are struggling with issues today like Christian nationalism in a fiercely divided partisan country, as we find ourselves in the midst of one of the most contentious elections in American history, and as we long for words of peace that remind us of who Jesus really was, we invite Dr. Blount back again. We hope this conversation will remind us of what we’re called to do as Christians and prepare us for the reconciliatory work necessary to bridge the gaps of difference between us.
