>>Greetings fellow peacemakers of the Lutheran Peace
>>Fellowship!
>>
>>This is a sad time.  As our leaders have rushed into
>>war on Iraq, as we hear reports of those needlessly
>>killed and the humanitarian crisis already happening,
>>we are reminded that the activities of peacemaking can
>>not just be reactionary responses.  Continual peace
>>education of our future leaders is fundamental if we
>>hope to change our society for the long term.
>>
>>I am writing to let you know of an opportunity.
>>
>>What? From Violence to Wholeness- LPF's leadership
>>training for peacemakers.  In this 5 day training we
>>will analyze the dimensions of violence and
>>oppression, explore active nonviolence as an
>>alternative, and will practice the skills of
>>peacemaking in order to equip young adults with the
>>knowledge and skills to be leaders for peace.
>>
>>Who?  Students and young adults aged 17-25 who are
>>interested in exploring active nonviolence from a
>>Christian perspective.
>>
>>When and Where?  From Thursday evening, June 5 through
>>Monday afternoon, June 9, 2003 at the University of
>>Minnesota campus, St. Paul, MN.
>>
>>Cost?  Food, lodging, and the training are included in
>>the $125-200 sliding scale cost.  Fundraising
>>assistance and scholarships are available, and many
>>participants are sponsored by a school or church
>>organization.
>>
>>How to sign up?  Contact Monica Fisk, youth trainer at
>>lpfyouth at yahoo.com, (206) 328-22116, or print and mail
>>in the registration form to Lutheran Peace Fellowship
>>at 1710 11th Ave. Seattle, WA 98122.
>>
>>I invite you to join us!  I also have attached the
>>training brochure to this email and would appreciate
>>it if you would share it with people you know in your
>>congregation, school, family, or community who might
