Nonviolence Training



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.

From clergy and laity struggling on a daily basis with poverty and violence in their own communities, to leaders of internationally recognized peace-movements, we can learn from  their leadership and example. Here's are details on just a few on them......
