Standing Our Holy Ground

A Comprehensive Look at Gun Violence and What the Faith Community Can Do About It

The gun violence epidemic in the U.S. is a crisis that intersects with issues of public health, youth, domestic violence, race, and poverty.  It impacts every socioeconomic group, every faith and cultural community, every education level, and every region. It is a true social justice crisis, and it demands both our holy outrage and our holy action.

The Presbyterian Peacemaking Program of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), in collaboration with the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, produced the webinar series Standing Our Holy Ground, challenging the faith community to stand up against this far-reaching crisis of our day.  Touching on a large variety of topics and utilizing those at the forefront of the work and research, this comprehensive webinar series delves deeply into the epidemic of gun violence and explores the ways in which people of faith and the communities to which they belong can respond and act to bring about change. Recordings of each one hour webinar, along with study guides and panelist bio sheets, are free to view at the links below.
