- Identify a conflict you need to negotiate or a choice you need to make as a group. How can each of the seven gifts of the Spirit contribute to helping you deal with the conflict or choice?
- Identify the different ways your cultural background, family, and/or personal experiences contribute to your understanding of peace. What talents and abilities do you personally bring to the work of peace?
- Invite musicians, actors, and painters to talk about how creating art contributes to their hopes for building peace.
- Watch A Force More Powerful. Create an artistic mural that exhibits different leaders for peace and different nonviolent social movements. Also, decorate the mural with pictures that represent the tools and insights you can bring to peacebuilding in our world. Display the mural in your church or school.
