Callaway Citizens for Peace & Justice: is an interfaith group with Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Humanist participants. People with other belief systems are invited to join us. People of good will have many concerns in common, including hunger, peace, justice, homelessness, and poverty. It is our hope that by working together we can reduce the pain and heartbreak of these problems. We may even come to a deeper understanding, and develop greater respect and acceptance of each other. By questioning the speakers and their arguments, we hope to stimulate your questions and dialogue.

Community Peace Forum

Community Peace Forum
You may wish to get copies of the Community Peace Forum to present at your church, club, or group:

DVD videos are now ready. Send your request for a copy to retiredhunter@hotmail.com or write to Peace Forum, c/o John Hunter Box 306 Auxvasse, MO 65231. Be sure to leave your mailing address and contact information. An E-mail address is the best way to contact us.

In case you were not there, Community Peace Forum is an exploration of the possibilities for peace in our world today. A Christian theologian, an IslamicScholar, a U.S. military Chaplain, and a Quaker inspirational speaker explore various and often conflicting views of peace in our world , especially the Middle East and Iraq, from the view of faith communities, morality, and ethics. Instead of a political or military strategy format, Community Peace forum asks the question ... what is the right thing to do, and why?

Presenting more questions than answers, this is an opportunity to hear and explore every one's ideas about peace.

The DVD is a very involved two hour provocative presentation of several opposing views of how to approach peace from a moral and religious point of view.

If we are ever able to provide an edited one hour highlights version, without ruining the flavor and content, we will post the information right here. You may wish to get the full two hour DVD, and edit yourself to fit your church or organization's one hour time limit. After watching the entire presentation, you may wish to plan a special two hour program, so you don't lose the integrity of the forum.

At this time, printed transcripts and sound CD's are not available. If these become available in the future, you will find all of the information right here on ccpandj.blogspot.com will be posted on this site. We have not charged for the copies yet, but if the demand grows, we will have to start recovering the costs in the future.
