No sane person wants to ?kill for peace.? Yet we are in a war on terror and may wage a war in Iraq in the name of peace, security and freedom. Some believe these are just and necessary wars for global security. Some think they are arrogant and reckless US ploys for global dominance. Many of us muddle around in the middle. Whatever the reasons for war, we need to mobilize our imagination, intelligence and spirits towards peace. What could make peace break out now? Where is it already happening? How can we make it grow and last? What are your best ideas for peace in these perilous times?Come to the Community Conversation Caf? on Waging Peace in Perilous Times. Share your thoughts, feelings and ideas for action with your neighbors in one-hour, hosted conversation groups. Discover and deepen your ideas by speaking them. Learn new perspectives through listening. Together, we will make the path to peace ? locally and globally ? by talking.What are Conversation Caf?s?Conversation Caf?s are hosted, drop-in conversations among people with diverse views and a shared passion for engaging with others on topics of common concern.
