TIME FOR PEACE

Editor’s Letter
“The Parallels of Peace”
By Beth Ann Hilton

In September, various world events have focused our thoughts on peace, specifically, the making of it, the wishing for it, the keeping of it, or, sadly, the lacking of it. Depending upon personal perspective, your idea of peace may be similar to one of the five useages of the word “peace” listed in most dictionaries in order of popularity. It is noteworthy that the first, hence most popular, definition listed is “the absence of war or other hostilities” while the useage that ranks last is “inner contentment; serenity: peace of mind.” Could it be that if we elevate – through consciousness raising -- the most popular understanding of peace to being “inner contentment,” then we would be much closer to achieving the actual “absence of war or other hostilities” that now dominates the useage of the word “peace?” more

PEACE ONE DAY

2006 brings new opportunities to inform and engage people around the world in observing and celebrating Peace Day 21 September. Together we can meet the goal of pledged commitments in every country for the first time in the Peace Day’s history. This dynamic and exciting possibility is within our reach, but we need your help.

We have posted on our site as a starting point a list of the 192 member states of the United Nations. You can see in which countries activities are taking place on the Day and those in which there are none. Can you help? Do you know any individuals, any faiths, any NGOs, any groups in these or any other countries? Please contact them, and invite them to be a part of the global celebration of Peace Day 2006. Ask them to make a commitment and send it in to web@peaceoneday.org

Thank you for doing your part in uniting the world on Peace Day.
