          Every Church a Peace Church
          is a movement to organize the church's response
          to societal and global violence.
          It is a call to action based on the simple proposition:
          "THE CHURCH COULD TURN THE WORLD TOWARD PEACE
          IF EVERY CONGREGATION LIVED AS JESUS LIVED AND TAUGHT."
          This weekend conference is an invitation to begin a conversation
          to create this network regionally.
