Peacemaking
At MWEG, peacemaking is the underlying “how” of all we do. Being a peacemaker, especially in a very polarized political climate, can be difficult. We’ve developed resources to empower you to build inner peace and shared peace at home, in our communities, and in our politics.
​
MWEG has adapted the six principles of nonviolence for our organization, with a focus on actively making peace and following the example of Jesus Christ. These principles guide and inform our work, including the resources provided here.​​
