Description

Readings and discussion will explore the theory and practice of Christian nonviolence in the context of current U.S. experience. Nonviolence does not withdraw from violence, but engages violence with the powers of truth and love. Nonviolence will be examined in four dimensions: personal, interpersonal, national/international, and ecological. From the lives and works of outstanding practitioners, practices of nonviolence will be identified and their relevance to contemporary Christian life demonstrated.
