Peace Education

The unarmed Christ wants his community, the church, to be a community of creative, loving nonviolence. The greatest challenge before us at this terrible moment in history is finally to take Jesus at his word – to put down the sword and become a church of nonviolence, a people of nonviolence.
         - John Dear, Put Down Your Sword

Training for the Skill and Soul of Non-violence

 
The dynamic day-long sessions include role-plays, interactive games, and spiritual reflection as participants learn about and practice nonviolent ways of responding to violence and injustice. Jesus' way of nonviolent love is powerful, faithful, and effective!
