Peace Education
Developing leadership for peace in each new generation.
Following Jesus’ way of nonviolence requires thoughtful, creative, and prayerful actions. How can we encourage youth to embrace creative Christian peacemaking?
The Peace Education program area of On Earth Peace is dedicated to developing leadership for peace in each new generation. By providing educational materials, interactive workshops, peace retreats and opportunities for youth and adults to grow in leadership, On Earth Peace works to promote peace education in the Church of the Brethren. On Earth Peace recognizes the strength that is gained when people of faith gather to share ideas with one another, learn new concepts, and practice techniques that can be taken into the world.
Are you looking for new ways to teach peace in your congregation?
Would you like support in planning a peace education event for your church or district?
