2025 Susquehanna Conference Seminar: Gun Violence Prevention
In partnership with the GBCS, the Susquehanna Conference organized a 2025 seminar in Washington, D.C., focused on gun violence prevention. Participants explored the moral, social, and policy dimensions of gun violence, met with advocacy leaders, and visited Capitol Hill to engage in faith-based advocacy.
The seminar included transportation, lodging, and educational sessions at the United Methodist Building. Future seminars will continue to invite clergy, laity, and students to join in learning and advocacy for peace and justice.
