Becoming A Beloved Community
The Beloved Community is a notion popularized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., when he envisioned a society where there is justice and equal opportunity for all, and both are undergirded by love for fellow human beings.
Kyle believes this is attainable and worth fighting for. Moreover, Kyle believes in affirming the dignity and worth of all humans and in methods that do not put people of different views and opinions against each other. He believes in embracing healing and repair over punishment and shame.
During this talk, Kyle will bring all of these beliefs into a framework that will help you undermine racism, poverty, and aggression in the communities you serve and live in through a process that leads to changed behavior, healing, and repair. You will be emboldened to participate in the building and maintenance of the Beloved Community through a vision and framework that will help you find creative and effective ways to address racism, poverty, and aggression in your respective neighborhood, place of work, city, and country.
