Greetings!,

 

Pax Christi USA is excited to announce the completion of a new collaboration with JustFaith Ministries!

 

Just Peacemaking ModuleJUST PEACEMAKING INITIATIVE

The Challenge and Promise 

of Nonviolence for Our Time

 

This new collaboration is a 12-session module for small groups, crafted by Pax Christi USA National Council member and author Scott Wright, with input and contributions from Marie Dennis, Pax Christi International Co-President; theologian and former PCUSA National Council member, Jeanette Rodriguez; Donna Grimes, Poverty Education and Outreach Manager at the USCCB's Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development and former PCUSA National Council member; Tom Cordaro, author and founding member of the Pax Christi USA Anti-Racism Team; and others...

 

The 12-session program explores the challenges and promises of justice-based peacemaking, and includes:

  • Prayer
  • Readings and discussion
  • Four "film nights"
  • A strong spirit of group dialog and interaction
  • Immersion activities
  • A call to organize a just peacemaking initiative locally

This module is broadly ecumenical and asks each and every participant to reflect deeply and to act locally, or, in the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "You must be the change you want to see in the world."  


 

And between now and June 1, 2012, Pax Christi local groups and regions receive a $50 discount when purchasing the module!

We hope that many of you will take advantage of this extraordinary resource and promote it to your parishes, schools, and communities!

In Christ's peace,
