April 18 — 2008 Round Table Conference on Domestic Violence
In Indiana last year, 79 individuals died as a direct result of domestic violence. Almost 10,000 women and children spent over 160,000 days in an emergency shelter resulting from a domestic altercation. Many persons in distress turn to their faith leader for help. This provides a crucial window of opportunity for faith leaders to intervene and provide information and resources that could prevent a violent event in that person’s life.
When: Friday, April 18, 9:00 am - 3:15 pm
Where: Christian Theological Seminary 1000 W. 42nd Street Indianapolis, IN 46208
