The Courage to Listen

Freedom City 2017 Lecture

Reverend Jeffrey L Brown, Baptist minister and President of RECAP (Rebuilding Every Community Around Peace)

Date/Time: 21st February 2017, 17:30 - 18:45

Venue: Curtis Auditorium, Herschel Building, Newcastle University

Based on the forthcoming book of the same name, this talk recounts the lessons Reverend Brown learned working with street and drug gangs in the inner city of Boston, and his larger work of bringing together conflicting constituencies in civil society for peace. At a time when division is prominent, Reverend Brown charts a way forward to bring people together.
