Peaceful conversations–and how to have them–will be the topic of the January meeting of the Abilene Interfaith Council.

The public is invited to the meeting, which will begin at 12 noon Jan. 16 at the Community Foundation of Abilene, 850 N. 1st St. A sandwich lunch will be provided for free.

Dr. Dan Stiver, former professor at Logsdon Seminary and now president of Fletcher Seminary, will be guest speaker. The following is from a promotional flier:

“In a time when disagreements often turn into division, we’ll learn practical tools and insights for fostering peaceful conversations with those who see the world differently.”
