Eufaula, Alabama

Middle East Peace Rally
10:00a.m., CST
Monthly Event
The event will move from city to city, on a monthly cycle. Once some resolution has been reached in Palestine, we will focus on Darfur, and so on and on.
The event is in protest of the systemic
agenda of genocide, perpetrated by the IDF against the hapless Palestinian people in Gaza and THe Transjordan. For more than sixty years, the great powers of the world have acquiesced to the money of the Zionists, and it is now time to repudiate that policy. The peace of the world is at stake, and we must not miss this opportunity to allow another holocaust, primarily a nuclear holocaust, which will destroy all of us.

Peacebuilding Peacelearning Intensive
Sunday, August 1st 2010
PEACEBUILDING PEACELEARNING INTENSIVE
August 1-7, 2010
Wilmington College * Wilmington, Ohio

The week-long Peacebuilding Peacelearning Intensive is designed for individuals and organizations who hope to launch new peacebuilding and change initiatives or enhance existing efforts. Participants will be coached in the design and development of a strategic peacebuilding plan that they will take back to and implement in their community or initiate in an organization they already work with. The plan will be assessed and evaluated by instructors and peers, and the National Peace Academy will provide ongoing guidance for project development after completion of the Intensive.

The Peacebuilding Peacelearning Intensive is intended to advance the development of the full spectrum of knowledge, skills and capacities of the peacebuilder - inner and outer, personal and professional. In doing so it will provide a holistic introduction to the theory and practice of peacebuilding and will engage participants in cooperative learning experiences designed to empower citizens to critically inquire into what needs and conditions are necessary for assuring a sense of security personally and socially; to envision, plan and strategize for the establishment of a just and sustainable social, political and environmental order that assures each and every citizen is safe, secure and able to live with dignity; and to facilitate the individual and communal learning required to make such transformations possible.

November 9, 2008: Join the Global GRACE Day

GRACE is the power that may overcome all violence because it is at home in the hearts of all human beings. (Sabine Lichtenfels)

The Global GRACE Day is a special initiative by a growing movement of individuals all over the world. The movement cannot and should not be identified with a specific group or organization; it is an expanding movement of those who have started to develop the quality of GRACE in their hearts. You will recognize them not by their signs and signals, but by the way they behave, act and talk.
