n Monday, June 27, more than 200 people convened on
the campus of Cheyney University near Philadelphia,
PA, for the week-long 31st annual Summer Conference of
BPFNA ~ Bautistas por la Paz (formerly the Baptist Peace
Fellowship of North America).
The theme for this year's conference, also affectionately
known as "Peace Camp," was "When Did We See You in
Prison? Breaking Social and Structural Injustice."
The setting was particularly appropriate, because Cheyney
University, founded in 1837, was the first African-American college
and university in the US. Conference director Scott Hayes wrote,

as they work to overcome oppressive bureaucracy. We stand with
them in this work for peace and justice. So as we laugh together

and become inspired together, we will also shed tears and pray
together, because the work of peace is never-ending.
So, during the week, participants did laugh, become

from each other-in many forms.
Rev. Damien Durr, Youth and Young Adult Pastor at The
Temple Church in Nashville, TN, and highly sought speaker,
led the adult Bible study in the mornings. After this, participants
attended workshops with such varied topics as "Moral
Injury: the Invisible Wounds of War," "Restorative Justice &
Healing Memories," "Mass Incarceration and Reentry Are
So Yesterday," "A Resurrection Agenda for Criminal Justice,"
"Listening with Lot's Daughters," "The Root of Canadian
Social and Structural Violence," "Reversing the Theatrics
