Peace and Development Education

The peace and development education program provides individuals and church groups with opportunities to worship, discuss, learn and share experiences of what it means to be people of peace on a personal level and internationally. It does this through:

Engaging in theological reflection in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition
Building a network of individuals, groups and congregations committed to peace
Providing a variety of educational resources that promote peace
Engaging in and mobilizing others for advocacy on specific peace-related issues
