" True Peace is not merely the
absence of tension, but the presence of justice"-Martin Luther
King, Jr.
We Started Peace Week in 2009
Motivated by the powerfully moving SOA peace march, during a follow
up meeting and discussion with student participants, Peace Week was
incepted. As a result, Peace Week began in the Spring semester of
2009 and now continues to be an annual week of a call to
action.
Peace Moth 2013
In an effort to inspire ACTION, the 2013 Peace Month Planning
Committee maintains that its main Peace month goal is to
light fire of awareness and action. Students’ main desire it to
empower other students to make a concrete and lasting difference.
With the perspective that everyone, at some point in life, has not
been at peace, the committee understands that it is important to
remind others that despite struggle and challenge, there is still
hope in the God of love.
When we look at the magnamity and the scope of what has to be done
around the world, and what has been done, it is easy to be
overwhelmed. The Peace Week committee reminds us this year of the
importance of not only helping those people who suffer over seas,
and across borders, but of the necessity to help those who suffer
and struggle in our very own backyards. We also can think of new
and innovative ways to bring the two worlds togehter through the
use of our resources.
