Pace e Bene Australia presents ‘The Spirituality and Practice of Nonviolent Leadership’

A new eight-day, residential program for Church leaders, clergy and lay in Australia.

The World Council of Churches ‘Decade to Overcome Violence (DOV)’ comes to an end in 2010. The DOV has been supported by all national and State ecumenical bodies in Australia as an integral part of developing a spirituality of hope for today’s world. It is timely to connect with the energies and insights of a growing global network of faith-based groups, who are engaged in the nonviolent transformation of culture around the world. Pace e Bene Australia seek to provide leaders in Australian Churches opportunities to deepen their learning about how to embed a spirituality of nonviolence within the leadership and membership of Australian Church communities.
