All are invited to The Congregational Church of Middlebury this Friday, November 11 to hear writer and storyteller Gareth Higgins give a talk based on his book, How Not to be Afraid. The event will begin at 7:00 p.m., and it is free and open to the public.
Gareth Higgins was born in Belfast in 1975, grew up during the northern Ireland Troubles, and now lives in the US. He writes and speaks about the power of storytelling to shape our lives and world. He has been involved in peace-building and violence reduction in northern Ireland and helping address the legacy of conflict. Higgins received a Ph.D. in Sociology from Queen's University Belfast, and helped teach the world's first graduate course in Reconciliation Studies at Trinity College Dublin.
Copies of How Not to be Afraid will be available for purchase.
