2025 Peace Colloquy Houselessness & Community Action

Join the Peace Colloquy as we come together in sacred community to explore one of the most urgent justice issues of our time: houselessness. Through stories, learning, and dialogue, we’ll examine the systemic roots of housing insecurity and how faith communities can be bold advocates for shelter, dignity, and belonging.

This gathering will feature keynote speakers with lived experience, interactive workshops, theological reflection, and space for collective discernment. Whether you’re already involved in housing justice or just beginning to ask questions, all are welcome.

Together, we will:

Listen deeply to voices often left unheard

Explore practical and spiritual responses to houselessness

Build relationships that spark hope and action

Envision a world where everyone has a place to call home

Come be part of a movement rooted in peace, compassion, and community transformation.
