"After a while, this calendar gets to you! It’s like listening to great music with a central theme that you keep humming long after the music has stopped."—Peter J. Dyck, Peace Storyteller, in active retirement
You are about to walk for a year in the company of thinkers who, for the most part, have lived out their commitment to peacemaking. They have made profound and powerful statements for peace.
People from all walks of life and with many points of view can benefit from this perpetual peace calendar. Its quotations have been selected from a Christian and Anabaptist-Mennonite perspective. They are for both seasoned peacemakers—inspiration for the long haul—and for beginners in learning what it means to be peacemakers.
Here is a rich resource of quotes and Scripture verses to keep handy and refer to every day!
"Day by day by day, our decision to be peacemakers requires recommitment. This calendar provides us with daily thoughts from those who blazed the trail and those who walk beside us now. However, my greatest joy in reading this calendar was to be reminded of the wealth of Bible verses about peacemaking. God’s biblical call to peacemaking is the source of our light, joy, and energy." —Susan Mark Landis, Minister of Peace and Justice for the Mennonite Church
