We all want to live in a world with peace and security. Many of us know that the only way to attain this is through:

Ø      Mutual respect and understanding

Ø      Healing and reconciliation, and

Ø      Creative and enduring resolutions of current conflicts.

Attend this conference:

Ø      To explore diverse paths to peace with justice in yourself, your home, your community, and beyond

Ø      To learn how to make a difference from a committed community of activists

Ø      For support, encouragement, and connection to ongoing peace-building in Central New Jersey

The conference will feature Chris Hedges, award winning New York Times correspondent and thirteen diverse workshops, and culminate in a brief, unifying interfaith ceremony. The registration fee of $10 includes lunch, $5 for seniors, students, and those with limited funds. Registration deadline is June 3, 2003.
