Adventist Peace Radio, Episode 95: Karah Thompson & Community Building

Karah Thompson discusses local community building and peacemaking, centering on food and books. Marci Corea leads the conversation.

Karah Thompson has been the co-director (along with Dr. Lisa Clark Diller) of Adventist Peace Fellowship since 2019, but has served on the board for the last 5 years. Although she trained as a nurse at Southern Adventist University, where she met her husband Tre, she has worked in a number of different sectors including planning community events, working on a business association, and working at their dental practice. She loves to learn about other cultures through food and travel and one of her favorite destinations is anywhere she hasn’t been before that is most untouched by modern culture. For the last decade, Karah has lived with her family in rural North Carolina, including two children who are now at University, where she practices peacemaking through community building. Comfort and encouragement are two of her superpowers.
