Specifically, the discussion was centered around nonviolence-- how can we promote a culture of nonviolence and social justice in a world of so much violence? <BR/><BR/>The result was a unanimous decision to declare the years 2001-2010, "A Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World". <BR/><BR/>We are in the midst of that decade and our motivation to be a people of peace and nonviolence is the children of the world. <BR/><BR/>MasterPEACE is a small but significant step in fulfilling such a hope and dream, at least for the children of Dallas, in our local schools and neighborhoods.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894386883621416596noreply@blogger.com
