Creating Peace

We add to peace in the world when we express peace in our lives. 

We begin by creating a peaceful environment within our own hearts and minds. We
endeavour to create a peaceful atmosphere around us. Our peaceful thoughts are
presented in conversation. We maintain calm in our voice and manner. We quietly
and quickly withdraw from any activity that does not foster peaceful resolution. By
word and example we encourage others to join us in peace-loving pursuits. 

We affirm that peace is made manifest in any place where people are thinking
peaceful thoughts, speaking peaceful words, and acting in peaceful ways. Because
we know that happiness and peace are closely related, we find ways to share our
happiness with others. We encourage the expression of peaceful attitudes. We
know that peace abides in the heart that is filled with God's caring love.
