Waging Peace

Posted by Brentford and Isleworth Quakers on Sep 29, 09 12:53 PM in

Wouldn't it be great if there were alternatives to war? There are! Quaker peace workers will be talking about Peace Child International and other projects which attempt to prevent conflict before it happens. These are part of the Quaker run peaceworker scheme to boost organisations working for peace.

Peace Child International works with young people's groups in over 180 countries through peace education initiatives such as musical productions. These encourage action in support of sustainable development and human rights. Quakers, a historic peace church, believe in supporting such groups to show there are ways of reducing tension in the world.

Brentford and Isleworth Quakers are organising the event on Sunday 4th October at 12 noon. It takes place at the Quaker Meeting House, Quakers Lane, London Road, Isleworth TW7 5AZ. Lunch is provided. Tours of the Meeting House, built 1785, and burial ground are available. The event is part of National Quaker Week, a series of open events at Quaker Meeting Houses nationally.
