DOVPak Fully Revised

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

As part of our denomination’s commitment to the World Council of Churches and the Decade to Overcome Violence, the Church of the Brethren has put together a resource packet for DOV congregations – the “DOV Pack.” We are excited to announce that the new up-dated DOV Pack is now available ON-LINE!

We’ve converted this helpful tool to a PDF format, so your computer will need Acrobat Reader to view the files. Most computers already come with this program, but if you don’t have it, you can download it for free at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

If you would still like a hard copy of the DOV Pack sent to you, just contact the DOV coordinator at the address below and you’ll be sent a packet, free of charge.

For your convenience, we’ve separated the DOV pack into 7 downloadable sections. Click on the titles below to begin downloading.

1. Introduction, Table of Contents, and Identity Materials
   
2. Background on Violence
   
3. Background on Brethren & Peacemaking
   
4. Biennial Focus
   
5. Action Ideas
   
6. Worship Resources
   
7. Resources and End

Thanks, and Peace be with you!
