Peace Studies Evening

On the 22nd of October, we gathered together, 75 people from so many different backgrounds across race, culture and religion, for our WFWP and UPF Peace Studies evening. A number of people had brought items of clothing, dry food and toiletries with them, which we will distribute to the homeless in Birmingham through several Christian churches.

The evening’s topic was 'How to develop our capacity to love', beginning with myself and my family, and out into the wider world. After the main presentation, we heard some wonderful thoughts from many of us, and then watched a WFWP video about women's unique role in peace building. After a quiet time for reflection, Viola sang a lovely song 'Colours of the Wind'. With our hearts full of inspiration, we then enjoyed sharing delicious food together... Many new friendships were made and everyone left with a feeling of hope and renewal.
