Danny Trapp said… Not heard of that but will check it out. My primary focus tends to be justice issues like fair sentencing, mass incarceration, restorative justice, etc. I work in the field and also will graduate from seminary in April. Have an interest in using my degree in jail or prison work but haven't figured it out yet.
Danny Trapp said… Thanks Machai, just curious myself but lord knows our world needs more peace right now.

John Smeresky said… Hello Machai, It all started with a book by James O'Dea " Cultivating Peace" I was inspired to start discussion groups and put up a blog to help others with questions and facilitating the groups. Then I met Molly at the Shift Network and she got me interested in Restorative Justice. I attended last nights webinar and learned about Do Peace from the interview. I can see a tremendous need for this at all levels of society and I have some friends who are educators a couple people in the justice dept. and I didn't know what to do with myself after Occupy Muskegon. Actually I am still helping with the Occupy movement here in Michigan. I have not posted my profile since I had a bit of work to do today. I may get to it later. My mantra is Peace is the only thing that IS important and more and more I am realizing it is true in ways I never imagined.
