The Episcopal Peace Fellowship is offering facilitator training in nonviolence. 'We are looking for Episcopalians who have a passion for nonviolence, have experience or the capacity to facilitate groups, and have time to promote and run workshops and retreats,' according to the EPF announcement.
The workshop, 'From Violence to Wholeness,' will be offered March 13-16 in Atlanta. It was created by the Pace e Bene Franciscan Nonviolence Service. The retreats help participants reflect on the nature of violence and then teach the history, principles, and methods of active, transformative nonviolence as a way of life and social change.
Those who are interested should visit the EPF web site at www.episcopalpeacefellowship.org and review the 'From Violence to Wholeness' curriculum guide by contacting the Franciscans at paceebene@compuserve.com or calling 702-648-2281.
A questionnaire for those who want to apply asks for background and experience, a description of a role model of a nonviolent leader, qualities that are important for group facilitation, and areas where the applicant might anticipate difficulties as a facilitator.
