Brethren Building Beloved Community (B3C)

Brethren Building Beloved Community (B3C) is a collection of congregations and individuals in the South/Central Indiana District of the Church of the Brethren (and friends!). We have joined together to learn and practice Kingian Nonviolence as a courageous way of life. This group is for sharing ideas, encouragement, stories, and support in our pursuit of positive peace.
