Ambassadors of Reconciliation, Vol. 1: New Testament Reflections on Restorative Justice and Peacemaking

By Elaine Enns and Ched Myers

This volume offers four N.T. studies on restorative justice and peacemaking (2 Cor 5-6; Mark 1-3; Matt 18; and Ephesians).

“Exceedingly rare and a precious gift to church and world is Myers and Enns’ wondrous mixing of ravenous hunger for justice, patient and practical wisdom in restoring justice and making peace, and consummate skill at biblical interpretation.”   –Tom Yoder Neufeld

Global Nonviolent Action Database (GNAD)

Go to http://NVDatabase.swarthmore.edu to access a free global database of nonviolent actions.  Campaigns are drawn from nearly every country in the world, in which people overthrew dictators, changed environmental policies, halted racist discrimination, fought for economic justice, established their religious freedom, changed sexist and other oppressive laws, established national independence, and defended their neighborhoods – all by using nonviolent resistance.  Included are cases in which the campaign failed so that learning can be gained from these cases.

The database was envisioned and is managed by George Lakey, activist, professor and CSOP 2011 Instructor.
