description: The powerful Hebrew motif of Shalom, often translated as ‘peace’, conveys much more than the absence of conflict. Shalom is an icon into God’s flourishing and fullness in Christ for the cosmos, communities and individuals. It is embodied in graces such as reconciliation and relationships, justice and righteousness, beauty and creativity, and paschal wholeness.

- rest in its graces
- ponder its presence within the marvel and mess of life and ministry

- **Time:** 9:30am - 3:30pm

## Theme: Graces of Shalom

The powerful Hebrew motif of Shalom, often translated as ‘peace’, conveys much more than the absence of conflict. Shalom is an icon into God’s flourishing and fullness in Christ for the cosmos, communities and individuals. It is embodied in graces such as reconciliation and relationships, justice and righteousness, beauty and creativity, and paschal wholeness.

“Shalom is the breadth, depth, climate, and smell of the Kingdom of God,” says Osheta Moore. It is “the culture of the Kingdom of God.”
