PEACE
We believe that networking and solidarity is an important part of what we do
What is PEACE?
People Engaged in Active Community Efforts
PEACE is an inter-religious organization, made up of twenty-three diverse religious congregations from throughout Palm Beach County (peacepbc.org). These congregations are brought together to powerfully address the systemic causes of injustices happening in our community. We understand social justice to be the running theme of the Bible. Micah 6:8, Nehemiah 5 and other biblical texts require us to do justice. After a process of discernment and research around commonly identified problems, we hold a Nehemiah Action Assembly each Spring. We gather thousands of our members and ask public officials to implement meaningful changes related to the problems upon which we are focusing.
The 30th Anniversary of PEACE, recently hosted by St. Patrick Social Justice Ministry, was CELEBRATED gathering 175 members. We shared food, engaged in fellowship, cheered our accomplishments, and made commitments to invest our time, talents, and treasure in PEACE.
Current Focus: Affordable Housing and Improve Community Police Relations. Listening sessions in Sept-Oct will determine additional issues.
