Welcome to our community: How do you define PEACE?	“We find peace in the bosom of authenticity. We make peace through the grace of forgiveness, we keep peace through the grace of gratitude and we share peace through the grace of charity. Peace is God’s grace in action.” Summer Kester
How did you find this community?	Peacebuilding class by Chad Ford
Do you have any professional experience in the field of peace-research? peace-studies? peace-practice?	I do guided meditations for my community to help people discover the peace within themselves so that they can share that peace with others.
Are you at all familiar with concepts of Nonviolence and Conflict Transformation?	Yes, I understand that we have had progressive leaders like King and Gandhi that taught “peaceful ends by peaceful means” Reconciliation and transformation are the only real sustainable solutions to conflict.
