The Peace Center and Compassion Develops Communities to hold dialogues on racism Sept. 15, Oct. 24 in Newtown

LANGHORNE – Continuing its 35th anniversary celebration, Speaking Up For Peace, The Peace Center and Compassion Develops Communities will host two more community dialogues on racism this fall.

The dialogue at the Newtown Friends Meetinghouse (Quaker), which is located at 219 Court Street in Newtown Borough, is set for Thursday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m.

Another dialogue will take place at St. Mark A.M.E. Zion Church, which is a multi-cultural church, at 136 N. Congress Street in Newtown Borough on Monday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m.

In July, 75 people came out to a vigil for peace in downtown Newtown Borough, followed by dialogue. “With additional violence towards unarmed blacks and police, it is important to keep moving towards social change, mercy and justice,” said Barbara Simmons, executive director of The Peace Center.

“We need to truly listen and hear one another for both healing and finding ways to help make our communities and nation a safe and accepting place for everyone,” she continued.
