Sunday, April 7, 4-6pm, Trinity Episcopal Church on Capitol Square, 125 E. Broad St.

Please join the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio’s Becoming Beloved Community task force as we welcome Bill Pelke, Founder of the Journey of Hope . . . From Violence to Healing. Bill speaks on his personal experiences as a murder victim family member and how that intersects with his experience and understanding of the Bible, Forgiveness and the death penalty. Plus, an update on the status of the death penalty in Ohio and the U.S. from Abe Bonowitz (Death Penalty Action).

This event is free and open to the public; a free will offering will be accepted. Bill Pelke’s book as well as other anti-death penalty books, T-shirts, buttons, etc. will be available.
