    Peacemaking and social activism are some of the most challenging endeavors known to humanity. Peace, the affirmative condition of wellbeing, unity and wholeness, is best expressed by the Hebrew "shalom," notby the mere absence of war. The introductory course considers the thinking of great peacemakers and social activists throughout the world, the methods for establishing and maintaining peace, and the development of alternatives to violence and oppressive social control. The primary concern is with the affirmative idea of peace that comes from doing justice and extending that concern to the created order.
