OMNIA Meetings
Listen to, Learn from and Live in Deep Solidarity
with those on the margins
OMNIA’s global meetings connect people across cultures, faiths, and borders to learn directly from community leaders, organizers, and peacemakers working for a better world.
Together, we share stories, examine the root causes of violence and injustice, and explore practical ways to build collective power through strategic action.
All are welcome.
Whether you’re new to OMNIA or a longtime participant, you are welcome to join. Come to listen, learn, ask questions, and engage in dialogue with people creating change in their communities around the world.
All times listed are CDT Central Daylight Time, USA (GMT-5). No prior training is required.
Donor/Stakeholder Meeting
OMNIA’s Donor/Stakeholders are the backbone of our work. They support, participate, engage, encourage, and pray for the IP Teams, their issues and communities. This gathering will look towards OMNIA’s 10th anniversary and how it will be an opportunity to lift the network to the next level.
OMNIA's 10th Anniversary Global Celebration
On December 10, 2016, OMNIA was born. This will be our 10th anniversary. It will also be our Annual Global Celebration, an opportunity for the entire OMNIA community to come together.

Accompaniment Circle on Sri Lanka
Some IP Team members now living in a tent city gathered for a strategic discussion on how to approach the government to get the aid they were promised. This is as a result of the devastating Cyclone that hit Sri Lanka in November. Some IP Team members lost their lives, homes and even villages to landslides. Many were displaced from their homes; their home gardening plots that provided them nutritious food were destroyed. They are now working hard to re-start what was lost. This will be an opportunity to listen to their stories and find ways to be in solidarity with them. Please click here to register. Zoom will send you a meeting link.
Climate Justice Working Group
This Working Group addresses climate change induced food insecurity that arise from the ground in our IP Teams. Currently we are working on “Food Forests” through “Trees that Feed.” We are also promoting “Adopt a Tree” programs where school children plant and care for a tree until it matures. As they do, they learn about nature and care for the environment. Please click here to register. Zoom will send you a meeting link.
Just Peace IP Team
We are continuing the conversation begun with Bishop Munib Younan (emeritus Luthean Bishop of Jordan and the Holy Land) on the document Kairos Palestine II as a counter narrative to the ideology of Christian Zionism. We will also explore counter stories that animate the narrative, and consider ways of publicizing them. Please click here to register. Zoom will send you a meeting link.
Just Peace IP Team
Just Peace IP Team is looking for counter narratives. We recently had a discussion Kairos Palestine II document with Bishop Munib Younan. The questions before us now are:
Is this the counter narrative that we’ve been seeking, or are there others?
This is still a document. What’s the counter story that animates this?
If so, how do disseminate this far and wide?
