SHALOM SUMMIT: An Invitation to the Future - Wednesday, October 26th at 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at St. Paul United Methodist Church 508 Center Street, San Antonio, TX 78202.

The Transformational Communities Network invites you to join with others across the Rio Texas Conference as we experience a conversation that inspires possibilities for the future of our communities – a future grounded in a shared vision for the common good.

The Shalomalization of our Towns and Neighborhoods - The work of shalom is a complex and life-long journey with relationships at the core. It is work that is challenged by the era of enormous isolation in which we live and by an overdependence on systems and institutions to solve problems and meet needs. Shalom is fostered by a culture of care that emerges when neighbors are connected, and communities are restored. Who should attend?

• Individuals and congregations who are:

  • Committed to helping neighborhoods grow

  • Seeking pathways that promote connections and engagement

  • Eager for new perspectives and approaches to strengthen communities

  • Looking for ways to get started, gain momentum, or renew community partnerships

Our inspirational speaker for the Shalom Summit will be Rev. Dr. Fred Douglas Smith, Jr. Dr. Smith has over 30 years as an Educator, Strategist, Facilitator, and Innovator in the field of Faith and Health. Most recently, he served as Director of Doctor of Ministry, Professor of Public of Theology, and Director of the newly established Center for Leadership in Public Theology at Houston Graduate School of Theology.
