Dear Friends around the World,
Happy August to you all!
This month we would like to introduce you to our new Board in Germany, Bjoern and Sarah Rech, who have graciously agreed to an interview that showcases their commitment to peace. We will have four Online Programs in August, including a meeting with a leader from one of the smallest ethno-religious minorities in the world, the Samaritans. There's a beautiful new video from the men's program of Cultural Leaders In Peacebuilding, which got started in June.
And for those interested in on-the-ground experiences of peacebuilding, Mohamad Jamous shares another blog from the June Peacebuilding Tour, and we offer a video recording of participants sharing their experiences. And so much more!
Peace ~ Salaam ~ Shalom,
Chris Miller
