What's Working Devotions - World Peace
"All the nations and peoples will come under the shadow of the Tent of the Great Peace and Harmony … so that disputes shall not end in war."
In recognition of the anniversary of 9/11, this week’s devotions focused on international projects that are making a difference. To start the United Nations was the first focus. There are many projects that the United Nations has where representatives from around the world participate, including the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and many more.
One person encouraged us to look at the positive effects of the Civic Education via Radio for Southern Sudan. This is a civic education radio series that increases the listeners’ knowledge of political developments and increases discussion of political developments, tolerance of diverse viewpoints, and non-violent solutions to complex problems.
We also discovered the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. They have developed a project with the intention of training leaders how to build state capacity, with particular attention to nonviolent conflict resolution.
What benefits have you found in the world becoming smaller? What examples can you give of countries working together to make the world and better place? What about examples of developing communities intentionally?
