This is a six-week discussion of the book “Beating Guns; Hope for People Who are Weary of Violence” by Shane Claiborne and Michael Martin beginning Thursday, January 23 at Platte Woods United Methodist Church.

“Beating Guns” is a Christian-based examination of our relationship to guns. It begins with the history of gun manufacturing and marketing in the US, looks at how Christians may/may not reconcile their relationship with guns to being followers of Jesus, touches on conflict resolution and de-escalation, and ponders where we go from here.

This program is a joint venture of Riverside United and PWC. It is open to the community and will feature a "safe discussion" format. Please spread the word and invite anyone interested.

Event Contact: Jess Horsley and Candace Shaw
