This week we will follow-up our Lenten study on nonviolence. Carrie Stearns and Leslie Schultz will lead an exercise designed to help people explore their understanding of nonviolence and how that may influence the choices they make. Running this exercise on Mother's Day is apropos as the originators of this holiday envisioned it as a day of peace, honoring and supporting mothers who lost sons and husbands to the carnage of the Civil War. Julia Ward Howe composed the original Mother's Peace Day Proclamation.
