Peacemaking 201:
The Way of Peace
(Re)Committing to a Faith Full Life
A Peacemaking Rule of Life
"In the heartfelt mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will visit us, to shine on those sitting in darkness, in the shadow of death, to guide our feet to the way of peace." Luke 1:78-79
​
What does it practically mean to follow the peacemaking path of Jesus? It comes down to a rule of life: a gentle and simple way to regularize our lives to stay on an intentional path of peacemaking. In The Way of Peace, learn about the concept of a rule of life and discover flexible and achievable ways to walk this peacemaking path. This 8-week journey walks through seven commitments that keep us moving in the direction of peace on Earth.
