PFADP Kairos Conference

The Kairos Conference


Now is a kairos moment on the death penalty. It’s a new day – a special time – to which more and more religious communities are awakening.

Register now for this spectacular national conference exploring faith and the death penalty! Space is limited and early registration ends Oct. 8.

The opening plenary of the conference will begin on Tuesday, November 16 at 9 a.m. (registration opens at 7 a.m.) The conference is scheduled to conclude at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 17.

The Kairos Conference: Discerning Justice and Taking Action is a national conference marking this kairos moment for the religious community and all concerned people in the United States to learn, discern, pray, and choose to act on the death penalty. It is the first interfaith conference on religious organizing on the death penalty in the United States this century.

Join conference chair and Dead Man Walking author Sr. Helen Prejean, Council of Europe Goodwill Ambassador Bianca Jagger, world-renowned speakers, and leaders of national, state, and local faith communities and groups for an inspirational and educational experience.

Come to this conference if you are:

  • A clergy, religious or lay leader of a national, state, or local faith community interested in participating in an inspirational and informative experience with other leaders such as yourself on a crucial moral issue of our time.
  • Involved in the death penalty in your community and interested in receiving a fresh and deeper understanding of how to succeed in partnering with and empowering religious leaders to help lead abolition and reform movements back home.

Over the course of two days participants will attend plenary sessions and keynote addresses involving national religious figures, workshops, affinity group sessions, an interfaith service, and a very special event.
