"It is not enough to teach children how to read, write and count. Education has to cultivate mutual respect for others and the world in which we live, and help people forge more just, inclusive and peaceful societies."

Education for Peace: 2013 International Day of Peace [Published Presbyterian Church USA - Jun 14 2013]

...He writes, "while studying and planning a career in the international nonprofit sector, I began to really question what it meant to be a disciple of the Prince of Peace in a world torn apart by war and violence. It was during this time that I began to feel God calling me to be a peacemaker. After school, my wife and I were married and joined a Mennonite congregation with a strong commitment to peacemaking in the Greater Los Angeles area. It was during this time that I really caught a vision for what it would look like to mobilize the Church in peacemaking. Through peace education programs for children and nonviolent activism, our Church had a visible presence in the community."
