Keynote Lecture
Living Gently in a Violent World

In this lecture, Jean Vanier and Stanley Hauerwas address the question of how Christians are to live in a violent and wounded world. Rather than contending for privilege by wielding power and authority, they believe that Christians can witness prophetically from a position of weakness. Vanier and Hauerwas help us see how much the church has to learn from an often overlooked community - those with disabilities.
