Pax Christi International’s Catholic Nonviolence Initiative invites all this special online event, an essential conversation in these turbulent times, where the stress of ongoing challenges — from U.S. election preparations and the erosion of civil discourse to the threat of wider conflict in the Middle East — highlights the urgent need for nonviolence.
As important decisions are being made by leaders and politicians, now more than ever, we must learn to communicate with civility and compassion.
