Families of Peace
A Call to Leadership
November, 2023
Throughout history, heroes have exemplified peace in their lives, often against great odds. Their leadership has blessed the world with indelible words, images and inspiration:
Martin Luther King, Queen Lili’uokalani, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Zhou Enlai.
These great souls have opened up miracles and evolutionary leaps: freedom, justice, non-violence, compassion, forgiveness and vision.
Today we humbly celebrate, honor and remember these heroes for a new generation. We also project their principles forward into the future, and seek guidance in a world challenged for peace.
This moment calls for courageous, principled leadership
in the practice of peace.
