Congratulations on your willingness to participate and welcome to our forum for building peace step by step.  Yes,  our hands will get dirty. This business of making peace and reducing the violence around us requires careful nurturing.  Our journey will be a long one for it involves changing the very fabric of our lives and the lives of many around us.  The tender sprout you see above will grow into a might oak. That will not happen overnight, but every change you make in your life by recognizing violence in all its modern and historical forms will help water this tender shoot until it is a great tree spreading peace over us all. 

This site is intended to be a resource for you.  Here you will see views and information that focuses on what is going on around you, and you will be invited to plowshare your life, to start dedicating part of each day to the work of peace.  We welcome and solicit your opinions as we share ours. 

Our journey together has many stages, and some of those described above will interest you while others will not.  No matter which part of our common travel together is the most intriguing, the important point is to get to the destination - the point at which we recognize that our history is unexplained and our way forward unclear if we do not begin to fight for justice and make peace a reality. 

We invite you to explore each area of this website at your own pace and to let us know which of these areas of our common journey are fulfilling and which are not.  Please share your thoughts, concerns, fears, frustrations,and  corrections on our blog (click on "more..." above).  Your views are important and worthwhile.  If you cannot help others, we will all be forever in the wilderness waiting to cross over.
