Peacemaking
At MWEG, peacemaking is the underlying “how” of all we do. MWEG has adapted the six principles of nonviolence for our organization, with a focus on actively making peace and following the example of Jesus Christ. These six principles of peacemaking guide and inform our work.
Being a peacemaker, especially in a very polarized political climate, can be difficult. We’ve developed resources to empower you to build inner peace and shared peace at home, in our communities, and in our politics. ​​​
Peacemaking Lab
The Peacemaking Lab is a learning community for MWEG women who want to navigate conflict with more support, courage, and hope.

Peacemaking in the Pews
Peacemaking in the Pews addresses the especially challenging nature of the conflict we experience in our faith communities — especially in our political climate. Join a cohort of women weekly for three live course sessions.
Nonviolence: The Way Jesus Would (& Did)
