Description
Drawing on interviews with veteran activists like Civil Rights leader Bernard Lafayette, scientists like behaviorist Frans de Waal and neuroscientist Marco Iacoboni, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, political scientist Erica Chenoweth, futurist Elisabet Sahtouris and others, THE THIRD HARMONY tells the story of nonviolence, the greatest overlooked resource in human experience.

The film also delves into the important role that nonviolence plays in the wider struggle to develop a new theory of human nature, how every one of us can add to our personal growth and fulfillment while benefiting society through the use of this time-tested power

Dare to learn the power of creative nonviolence

How can we live meaningfully in this world of hatred, conflict, and violence without becoming part of the ugliness? How can we grow in our ability to respect people different from ourselves without losing ourselves. Should we even try? Is it hopeless?

The Peace and Justice Network of Montgomery County, Inc. is offering a training on creative nonviolence in the Lord of Life Lutheran Church library on Saturday, February 25th from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm.

For the fourth year, the Peace and Justice Network of Montgomery County, Inc. is organizing a children’s art project for the International Day of Peace. Groups of children from various organizations and churches in the county are making art pieces with peace as the theme.

The art will be displayed in several community locations including the South County, Mitchell, and Conroe public libraries, the Conroe Chamber of Commerce office, the South County Community Center, and the South County and Conroe YMCAs. Additionally, art will be exhibited in the churches and other facilities where children created it including the Oscar Johnson Community Center, the Congregation Beth Shalom in the Woodlands, the Al-Ansaar Mosque, Trinity Episcopal Church, and Children’s Books on Wheels.

Every year since 1981 the United Nations General Assembly declares a day of peace for strengthening of the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. It was decided in 2001 that September 21 should be observed as a day of ceasefire and non-violence.

The theme for this year is “The Right to Peace.”  This year is the 70^th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  Not only do we want peace between nations, we also want all the peoples within nations to experience respect, protection, and freedom from repressive and autocratic governments. 

All nations are invited to honor a cease fire during the day and to focus on education and public awareness on matters related to peace.
