we have a dream...that people will disagree without violence

 

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
Martin Luther King Jr.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it always.
Mahatma Gandhi

This year marks 60 years since Gandhi was assassinated (30 January 1948) and 40 years since the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr (4 April 1968) ~ two leading advocates of nonviolent social change.

At St Ethelburga's we offer space and support for people to explore the relevance of nonviolence to their own lives and communities and skills training to resource people in responding to conflict without violence.

We are holding a special event on Tues 8 April, 6.30pm, to look at Gandhi and King: Their Relevance Today as part of the Festival of Nonviolence that is taking place across London from 26 March - 12 April 2008.
