The Peacemaking Experience
Come hear from hands-on peace activists about what works at the grassroots level, then reflect with three theologians on how religious traditions evolved to embrace shared understandings of peace. On Tuesday, April 8, from 7 to 9:30 p.m., at the Washington National Cathedral, peacemakers from the Abrahamic traditions will lead a vigorous discussion of their religion-based peacemaking experiences around the world. Each has worked in a different tension spot where inter-religious dialogue has played a crucial role in either ending hostilities or promoting peaceful coexistence. David Smock of the United States Institute of Peace will moderate the discussion, which is co-sponsored by the Washington National Cathedral and the United States Institute of Peace. Call 202/537-2221 for more information.
