Peace People Who Changed the World

‘Peace? Nice idea, but there’s nothing we can do about it.’

Peace People is for educators who want to challenge the common assumption of many young people that there is nothing they can do to change the world. It will help light the fire of hope and engagement which are essential for young Christians and world citizens today.

There are ten biographical profiles of peacemakers past and present from different parts of the world supported by six activity worksheets that offer reflection points, scripture readings, prayers, songs and suggestions for further reading. The peacemakers are:

• Franz Jägerstätter
• Oscar Romero
• Mairead Corrigan Maguire
• Thomas Merton
• The Four Ploughsharers
• Gertrude Luckner
• Matt Robson
• Maria Lourdes Martins Cruz
• Peter Benenson
• Wamuyu Teresia Wachira

An effective resource for secondary RE, Peace People is also ideal for PSHE/Citizenship courses, chaplaincy, retreat work and adult groups.
