The Newark Interfaith Coalition for Hope and Peace will participate in two workshops:

Day 1-- Friday, May 13, 2011 from 10:45 AM-12:15PM; PW105 Interfaith Conjunctions: Buddha, Jeremiah, Jesus and Muhammad on Inner
Peace/Shalom/Salaam with Michael Christensen, Imam W. Deen Shareef, Rabbi Matthew Gewirtz, and Reverend Robert Corin Morris

... In this Workshop, religious leaders from the Newark Interfaith Coalition for Hope and Peace, focused on the praxis of peacemaking in the city, discuss how their particular faith traditions inspire them to work together to engage gang culture to reduce youth violence in Newark. Philosophically and practically, they will suggest possible intersections and pathways of Inner Peace/Shalom/Salaam toward a common vision of peace and wholeness for persons, communities and the cosmos.

Day 3-- Sunday, May 15, 2011 from 11:05 AM-12:35PM; PW405
Newark Interfaith Coalition for Hope and Peace presents Support and Protect Our Children: Our Community, Our Responsibility with Imam W. Deen Shareef, Jack Farrell
...In this workshop, we will identify methods for individual and community empowerment to effect change by pulling together youth, parents, schools, houses of worship, businesses, and community based agencies to help reduce violence and promote peace in the community through the power of nonviolence. We will explore how children and adults can both take responsibility for peace in themselves and, thus, for one another and prevent violence. Understanding our interconnectedness can be powerful in helping us develop empathy and compassion for ourselves and others. We encourage you to join us and take action in our effort to help transform negative habits and attitudes by taking individual responsibility for peace in our community.
