| | Publications | | Finding Peace | | | Jean Vanier | | This passage, this crossing over the barricades that separate cultures and religions, is not a rejection of one's faith, tradition and culture, but rather a fulfillment of them. |  (Softcover; House of Anansi Press, 2003; Pp89)
Written in response to the tragic events of September 11 Jean Vanier reflects on recent world events, identifying the sources of conflict and fear within and among individuals, communities, and nations that thwart us in our quest for peace. Peace is not just the work of governments or armies or diplomats, he argues, but the task of each one of us. Vanier shows us that ordinary people are transforming our world little by little, finding peace in our neighborhoods and lighting the way to change. Drawing inspiration from Etty Hillesum, he writes, "I believe that we can find the road to hope and peace in our world if we open ourselves to change." | |
