Peacemaking in a Violent World is an organization dedicated
to fostering peace at all levels of human interaction. The objective of
the organization is: to promote non violent means of conflict
resolution, and make non violence a way of life. Like many other
Christian organizations promoting peace and seeking justice, our work
is both within our own denomination, traditions and heritages, and
among others be they fellow believers from other traditions or kindred
spirits from among non-believers. Peacemaking in a Violent World is a
sub group of the Peace and Justice Committee of the Presbytery of
Baltimore,Presbyterian
Church (USA).
One of the endeavors of Peacemaking in a Violent World is a
study of violence in the
media. One focus of this effort is violence
in video games. This is an on-going effort. Material will be
added from time to time as it is identified and formatted for
publication here.
Another effort the Peacemaking in a Violent World has been a
study of the issue of illegal drugs. Toward this end anyone interested
in exploring ways to reduce the violence associated with the drug trade
is to join in this effort. Peacemaking in a Violent World would like to
form a working group to look into the issue in greater depth. All
opinions are welcome, if you are interested please email Nelson Tharp
at nbtharp@yahoo.com.
Peacemaking in a Violent World is trying to collect different
viewpoints which will be posted on this website. Neither Peacemaking in
a Violent World nor the Presbytery of Baltimore endorse any of these
positions.
