FROM PASTOR MATT STANIZ: "Dr. Jon Pahl has been a friend and a mentor to me as I have entered into a life of ministry. His insights on the connections between religion and violence are immensely wise and challenging. I encourage anyone who seeks to build a world and a church in which violence is wholeheartedly rejected to attend this workshop."
