Why Violence?<br />
Why Not Peace?<br />
Although the World Council of Churches<br />
Decade to Overcome Violence is drawing to<br />
an end it is never too late to consider the<br />
above questions.<br />
During October <strong>and</strong> November there will be a series of four<br />
evenings devoted to considering some of the issues raised.<br />
We will be looking at four aspects of violence:<br />
Is Violence Inevitable?<br />
How Do We Use Power?<br />
How Do We Act Justly?<br />
What Kind of Identity?<br />
We will be using a variety of resources including exercises to<br />
help us reflect on the questions from our own experience,<br />
materials to stimulate conversation <strong>and</strong> passages for Bible<br />
study <strong>and</strong> reflection.<br />
Although each evening will begin with reflection we intend that<br />
the outcome of each meeting will be ideas for action. Further<br />
details <strong>and</strong> a sign up sheet will be available from late<br />
<strong>September</strong>. We look forward to your participation.<br />
