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.

Women and Universal Responsibility

Women, Universal Responsibility and the Healing of Nations
Rene Wadlow*

We should begin to develop from the level of the individual through that of society to the world at large, what I call a sense of universal responsibility: a deep respect for every living being who lives on this one small planet and calls it home. The Dalai Lama

On 31 October 2002, the UN Security Council adopted unanimously Resolution 1325 urging “Member States to ensure increased representation of women at all decision-m… Continue

24 Oct: UN Day

The United Nations as One Mind
Rene Wadlow*

Those who observe world events may perceive something higher than human logic at work

Dag Hammarshjold has written that the United Nations was “the beginning of an organic process through which the diversity of peoples and their governments are struggling to find common ground upon which they can live together in the one world which has been thrust upon us before we were ready.”

Basically, the function of the UN is to create consensus (being of one… Continue

A Citizens’ of the World Focus

Rene Wadlow*



16 October is the UN-designated World Food Day, the date chosen being the anniversary of the creation of the FAO in 1945 with the aim, as stated in its Constitution of “contributing towards an expanding world economy and ensuring humanity’s freedom from hunger.” Freedom from hunger is not simply a technical matter to be solved with better seeds, fertilisers, cultivation practices and marketing. To achieve freedom from hu… Continue

C.G. Jung and Taoism

David Rosen
The Tao of Jung : The Way of Integrity
(New York: Arkana-Penguin, 1997, 197pp.) (Book)


Carl G. Jung (1875-1961) was one of those who dealt most directly with the passage of the Piscean Period to the Age of Aquarius, especially in his book Aion. He analyses astrological imagery embodied in Zodiacal ages in order to deal with the psychological problems of this period of transition. The astrological sign of Pisces is often represented as two fish – one light, the other dark in color –… Continue

A good end cannot sanctify evil means, nor must we ever do evil that good may come of it…Let us then try what Love will do…Force may subdue but Love gains, and he that forgives first wins the laurel. William Penn Some Fruits of Solitude
