In the midst of
today’s overwhelming violence, the Episcopal Peace Fellowship is actively
dismantling violence, doing justice and striving to be peacemakers.
EPF seeks to address confusion, ambivalence, fear and hatred, by
helping individuals and groups cultivate the spirituality and everyday practice
of active nonviolence.
We encourage
our members and all people of faith to seek out active nonviolence
training. EPF member General Convention Deputies have sponsored
and passed several resolutions calling the National Church to endorse and
support nonviolence Training in provinces, dioceses, congregations and
institutions of the Episcopal Church.
EPF provides
counsel and guidance to groups and individuals seeking to host nonviolence
training whether it be an introductory session, a day long session or a 3 day session. We promote curricula that are fully participatory, reflective
and experiential.
We will
direct you to the training that will best meet your needs in terms of time, costs,
and the issues you would like to address. Please call or
write us today to discuss how we can assist you, your parish, diocese or
community to bring in nonviolence training.
