How has the brokenness impacted different communities? What will reframing and reconciliation at different levels look like?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The speakers are Gao Qing, executive director at the Confucius Institute US Center, and Eric Miller, co-executive director of Global Mission for the Church of the Brethren, with Rachelle Swe of the Office of Peacebuilding and Policy as moderator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/Office-of-Peacebuilding-and-Policy-webinar-flier-600px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/Office-of-Peacebuilding-and-Policy-webinar-flier-600px.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/Office-of-Peacebuilding-and-Policy-webinar-flier-600px-294x300.jpg 294w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/Office-of-Peacebuilding-and-Policy-webinar-flier-600px-560x572.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Qing leads the Confucius Institute US Center that mainly focuses on Chinese language and intercultural education.
