Creating an Oasis of Peace

An oasis is an unexpected gift, a sign of life and hope in the midst of the desert.

Over three days of preaching, teaching, and lectures, Angelina Atyam of Uganda and Bishop Paride Taban of Sudan will offer their lives and work as examples of how oases of peace can exist in the midst of a broken world. We hope you will join us for the Duke Center for Reconciliation’s third annual Teaching Communities Week.

The Teaching Communities Program at the Duke Center for Reconciliation recognizes that forming Christian leaders in the theology and practice of reconciliation requires a close connection with living signs of hope, the faithful witnesses throughout North America and the world who embody deep wisdom about the journey of reconciliation. Teaching Communities Week, a key part of this program, is an annual event that brings a leading practitioner and a leading theologian, each dedicated to Christian reconciliation in a divided world, to teach together at the Divinity School and in the community.
