Though this event made national and international news, many of us are still unclear about the Columbian conflict. From a firsthand perspective, Rev. Diego Higuita will describe both the Colombian conflict as well as peacemaking efforts on the part of the Presbyterian Church of Colombia. Rev. Higuita's congregation lies in a region of Colombia where conflict between guerilla, paramilitary and state forces has been a daily reality for over forty years. His work to bring aid to internally displaced people has been recognized by the Presbyterian Church USA and abroad. Calendar of Events: Thursday, Oct.2, 12 - 1:30pm: Pastor's Luncheon at JAPC.
