Peace is more than a wish
Have you ever wished there was more peace in your life, in your relationships with friends and family or even in the world? Maybe you’ve wondered what having more peace looks like. Or how you can get there?
MCC’s Peace is more than a wish project can help you navigate these questions and provide you with tools to work towards making peace more than a wish. You’ll find resources for building peace skills in your day-to-day life, books and study guides for congregations and insightful articles featuring MCC peacebuilding projects from all over the world.
Together, let’s make peace more than a wish!
Change happens. Love holds.
The idea that change is constantly happening, that something new is right around the corner waiting to break through, is the heart of the Christmas story. For Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and wise men, the rulers of the time, and even the innkeeper, the Christmas narrative is a marking of profound, life altering change. In many ways, when we celebrate Christmas, we are celebrating change.
Every month, join us on a learning journey where Anna Vogt shares what she is learning about topics related to peacebuilding from MCC staff and partners.
Anna is the co-director of MCC Canada’s Peace & Justice Office. Through her work, she has witnessed ordinary people from all over the world build peace rooted in faith, fail at building peace, start again, learn from and laugh with one another. We can do this too, right here at home, starting slow and small.
Change happens. Love holds.
