by Noel Castellanos

Talk presented 5/18/2007 at the Urban Youth Workers Institute Conference 2007.

 Description

Shalom is a biblical concept that pushes us as Kingdom people to examine the depths of our understanding of wholeness, justice and community. In Jeremiah 29, the Lord commands his people to pray for and to seek the shalom of Babylon, where they were in exile. In this workshop, we will explore how to do the same in the marginalized neighborhoods of our nation and world in such a way that people's lives are transformed and communities are revitalized.
