The Pledge of Nonviolence as a Tool for Social Change - Part 2 From the Winter 2003 Newsletter
As a follow-up to our last newsletter issue on the Pledge of Nonviolence as a Tool for Social Change, we invited people to respond to that theme in light of their own efforts to promote nonviolence in their community. This issue contains several reflections from international readers. Thanks to all our contributors. They give us hope and encouragement as we seek to know better how to create a culture of peace when violence seems so prevalent.
The Pledge of Nonviolence is a dynamic tool for enabling us to live more peaceably in our daily lives. When we use the Pledge, however, do we consider only the personal and interpersonal aspects? Can we use the Pledge as a lens for exploring the structural and systemic dimensions of our lives?
