 Peace Team
If you are interested in being part of a CMUC Peace
Team please come to a meeting
in the Centre for Peace (usually posted on the
What's Happening page). We're so pleased with how
our events went in conjunction with the World Peace Forum, that after a
breather, we'll decide, what's next...

At CMUC, “we
are committed to peace: we promote peace, in ourselves, our
relationships, and our world”.
Indeed, as a war memorial church, CMUC was founded in 1928 to promote peace in
the world.
Other core values
of the Canadian Memorial United Church include justice, diversity,
equality, and reverence for the earth and all creation as
sacred gifts of God.
As both
CMUC’s core values and mission to act for peace in the spirit of
the Christ fit well with the WPF’s goals of peace, justice, and
sustainability, the Church and The Centre for Peace were set aside
for peace events with a spiritual focus during the WPF week.
If you would like
more information about the peace events, please contact
Mary Lou Whittaker.
Library Resources
A Peace & Conflict Studies
Reader has been placed in the library. The
intent is to provide a wide range of articles from news sources/
journals that are 1-4 pages in length and provide an alternate source
of news for people of faith to have access to in discerning the call
to be seekers of peace.

You are invited to live out

"We are committed to peace. We promote peace, in
ourselves, our relationships, and our world."
