Peace Network
Baton Rouge Peace Network
Peace isn’t something that just happens – it takes intentionality and effort. That’s been the goal of the Federation since its founding – not to just pray for peace or talk about it, but to seek ways to wage peace as part of our everyday lives.
We will be re-establishing our Peace Network Groups in the near future – if you’re interested, fill out the form below and we’ll add you to the list to send more information as soon as it’s available!
Topics from our past meetings include:
- Language of Peace
- Music: Universal Language of Peace
- How to live in peace in “these times”?
- Peace-filled mystics and poets from diverse faith traditions
