"Unmasking the Powers Behind Gun Violence" - International Day of Peace keynote

Theologian Walter Wink understood that there are invisible forces that shape and determine human existence. When we unmask these powers, they lose their influence and create the space for us to make conscious decisions about how we want to live. In this zoom keynote lecture, Deanna Hollas will lead us in an exploration of the hidden forces behind our gun violence epidemic and how we can respond.

The Rev. Deanna Hollas is the Gun Violence Prevention Ministry Coordinator with the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship and a founding member of the Everytown for Gun Safety Interfaith Advisory Council. In her role with the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, Rev. Hollas empowers and equips individuals and church congregations across the Presbyterian Church (USA) denomination to embody Jesus's call to love God and love neighbor by being informed and active in ending gun violence. Rev. Hollas is also a spiritual director and co-founder of Retreat House Spirituality Center. She holds a Master of Divinity from Perkins School of Theology as well as a Diploma in the Art of Spiritual Direction from San Francisco Theological Seminary.
