Friends,

Here's a quick way to look at the three options we're providing for groups who join our campaign for the International Day of Prayer for Peace this year.

What good is a vigil anyhow?

Fri, 07/23/2010 - 12:58 | mattiepdx

For On Earth Peace, September 21 is about much more than “just” the day itself. Our work organizing around the World Council of Churches’ International Day of Prayer for Peace is an effort to connect people all over the world who are concerned – heartbroken – angry – and tired – about violence in their communities and in our world.

Report from first IDPP Networking Call

Thu, 06/17/2010 - 12:00 | mattiepdx

Hi friends,

This is Matt writing from the Portland office on On Earth Peace.

People called in today from Florida, Arizona, Ohio, Illinois, and Oregon for today's International Day of Prayer for Peace overview call. It was inspiring to hear from all corners of the country how plans are being dreamt up to organize about immigration, education, racism, gun violence, unemployment - all these circling around the core issues of MLK's triplet of evil: poverty/materialism, racism, and violence/militarism.

Join us on Tuesday, June 22nd for the next overview call- you can register here.

We'd like to get you involved!

A massive fruit tree with its roots and branches is a good metaphor for the spiritual balance we have attempted to build into activities for individuals, families and faith/community groups.
