Topic for the August 15 meeting is "Active Non-violence as Conflict Resolution"

Please join us for a presentation on the topic of "Active Non-violence as Conflict Resolution" presented by Susan Giesecke.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said: "The Universe bends toward justice."

During the last century, with the elevation of science and technology, we have witnessed unbelievable rates of death and destruction.

Is there another way? What is meant by "respect" ? Are words important?

Where fear might lead us to repress our anger, and frustration might lead us to express it as such, the non-violent response means to channel that anger into constructive action.

Non-violence is a positive force generated by self-sacrifice in the cause of Truth.

In our time together in August, we will examine two aspects of the Nonviolent movement: Non-violent communication and the Steps of Nonviolence.

We look forward to seeing you at 1:00 at the Bayland Community Center, 6400 Bissonnet.
