Pacific School of Religion 1798 Scenic Avenue , Berkeley, CA, United StatesJoin us for a two-day conference on “Borders & Identity” addressing the critical theological, pastoral and social issues of our day. Migration across all kinds of borders—both physical and metaphorical—is reshaping our understanding of identity across boundaries of race, culture, religion, sexuality, gender, and nationality.

Halfway through the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency, join us for an engaging weekend of workshops, worship, direct action, and community building. The conference will emphasize practical skills, timely resources, and a deeper analysis of the critical issues facing us at this moment. Our goal is to equip leaders to stand for justice with all those on the margins and borders. This event is being held in conjunction with Pacific School of Religion’s Alumni/ae Reunion Weekend.

This year’s theme speaks to the need for collective care and affirmation as a means of preparation, preservation, and resistance. Now more than ever, womxn of color can no longer afford to neglect ourselves while on the frontlines of global battles against social injustice. We must nurture and free ourselves from the limits and […]
