The John Woolman College consists of practitioners and scholars of peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding -- the Triad of Active Peace. Our shared commitments can be reduced to five precepts or ideas:

1. Active Peace, usually called 'Peacemaking', is a discrete discipline, in and of itself;

2. Peacemaking / Active Peace can be taught;

3. We are called -- it is our vocation -- to teach peacemaking / Active Peace;

4. We will do so at every possible opportunity in our lives;

5. We will do what we can to forward the John Woolman College mission (money donations not required).

For the College's purposes, the 'Triad of Active Peace' is defined as:

A. Peacemaking (conflict transformation);

B. Peacekeeping (nonviolent accompaniment of the vulnerable and oppressed); and

C: Peacebuilding (sustainable development and providing for human needs).

We consider anyone committed to such activities qualified to be part of our institution, without any other obligation. No degrees, diplomas, or certifications are required.

As I am one of the western Canadian contacts for the World March for Peace and Non-Violence coming up rather quickly (beginning in October in New Zealand, and ending in Argentina in January) - I am curious to know if other members of th… Continue

I Write Letters

Representative Dickinson,


I was very disappointed to see you gave in to bigotry and voted Nay on S.115. You are standing on the wrong side of the sentiment of Vermont, the wrong side of civil rights, and the wrong side of history. I hope you can redeem yourself on Tuesday when the House considers overriding the Governor's threatened veto.
