Podcast: Grounds for Peace

Explore peace through the lens of a people who follow Jesus the peaceful One and also understand the interconnectedness of all creation. This series is sponsored by Community of Christ Europe and launched with the 2020 European Peace Colloquy featuring dynamic online workshops and talks. PZP is home for all the follow-up interviews with presenters who addressed a wide variety of topics: peace and mental health, peace education in schools, acting together for nuclear disarmament, countering dehumanization, challenging nationalism, and veganism and working for social justice in the age of corporate rule. Community of Christ Europe periodically posts additional peace and justice focused content as they take a hard look at the path to peace asking these essential questions: What is the role of spirituality in working for social change? What difference can people of faith make?
