Acclaimed Peace Builder to Speak AT ST. MARK’S
March 22, 2023 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Acclaimed Peace Builder to Speak AT ST. MARK’S
Dr. Steinar Bryn, the most experienced dialogue facilitator in Europe, will address matters of conflict and pathways to healing. Steinar has spent a lifetime creating a culture of dialogue. With the support of the Norwegian Foreign Ministry and the Nansen Academy, he has engaged those in divided societies in dialogues lasting a weekend up to three months. On March 22 he will discuss “The Limits and Possibilities of Dialogue” through his many experiences working with those from the Balkans, Middle East, Ukraine, and even in the United States. In February, Steinar began a three-month visit to the United States as a visiting scholar. He was awarded the King Olav V scholarship given by the Torgersen Center for Nordic Studies at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.
