  • Conscientious Objection to a War-Driven World
    29 Conscientious Objection to a War-Driven World Review of The Root of War Is Fear: Thomas Merton’s Advice to Peacemakers By Jim Forest Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2016 xiv + 223 pages / $25.00 paper Reviewed by Rose Marie Berger In Rome last spring a landmark gathering on Catholic nonviolence and just peace, cohosted by the Vatican justice and peace office and Pax Christi International, a global Catholic peace movement, convened bishops, theologians, laypersons, sisters, priests – most living in situations of extreme conflict and most from the majority world. The Vatican and Pax Christi International wanted to hear the experiences of people who have lived with violence, lived through war, and still found successful ways to remain nonviolent or have observed effective nonviolent practices. Those who arrived in Rome were from Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Palestine, Colombia, Mexico, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Uganda, as well as the United States and Western Europe. This April conference on nonviolence and just peace concluded with an appeal to the Catholic Church to re-commit to the centrality of Gospel nonviolence. It included a six-point plan: 1) continue developing Catholic social teaching on nonviolence – in particular, Pope Francis was called upon to share with the world an encyclical on nonviolence and just peace; 2) integrate Gospel nonviolence explicitly into the life, including the sacramental life, and work of the Church through dioceses, parishes, agencies, schools, universities, seminaries,

  • Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award
    Pacem in terris Peace and Freedom Award Tuesday, April 9, 2019 DAVENPORT, IOWA His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. He was born in 1935 to a farming family in a small hamlet located in Taktser Amdo, Northeastern Tibet. At the age of two, he was recognized as the reincarnation of the previous 13 Dalai Lamas. At age fifteen, on November 17, 1950, he assumed full temporal political duties. In 1959, following the brutal suppression of the Tibetan national uprising in Lhasa by Chinese troops, His Holiness was forced to flee to Dharamsala, Northern India, where he currently lives as a refugee. He has lived in exile for 60 years in northern India, advocating nonviolently and steadfastly on behalf of the Tibetan people for preservation of their culture, language, religion and well-being. China views the Dalai Lama as a threat to its efforts to control Tibet and Buddhism. He was awarded the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize for his non- violent efforts for the liberation of Tibet and concern for global environmental problems. On Oct. 17, 2007, the Dalai Lama received the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal, our country’s highest civilian honor. His Holiness has traveled around the world and spoken about the welfare of Tibetans, the environment, economics, women’s rights and nonviolence. He has held discussions with leaders of different religions and has participated in events promoting inter-religious harmony and understanding. "The world doesn’t belong to leaders. The world belongs to all humanity."

  • Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award
    Pacem in terris Peace and Freedom Award Saturday, April 2, 2016 DAVENPORT, IOWA photo by Cathy Bolkcom Venerable Thích Nhâ´t Ha.nh Venerable Thích Nhâ´t Ha.nh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Master, teacher, author and peace activist, is honored for his lifelong commitment to peace and for his inspired, dedicated work to bridge Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. The Vietnam War forced Nhâ´t Ha.nh (Thay for Teacher) and the entire Buddhist community to confront “the question of whether to adhere to the contemplative life, meditating in their monasteries, or to help those suffering around them.” In 1965 Thay responded by developing socially “Engaged Buddhism,” which incorporated contemplative Buddhist practices with “Compassionate Action.” He founded the School of Youth for Social Services (SYSS), a grassroots student relief organization that practiced Compassionate Action by rebuilding bombed villages, burying the dead and establishing schools and medical centers. In that same year, he wrote to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., imploring him to speak out against the Vietnam War. As Thay’s peace efforts escalated, so did the political risks. Thay was forced to flee Vietnam after an assassination attempt. He took refuge in France after his 1968 exile and established the Plum Village Sangha where he became one of the fathers of the Mindfulness movement. He also began teaching in the U.S. where he joined Dr. King (who nominated him for the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize) and other peace colleagues to advocate for an end to the Vietnam War. As the Buddhist peace delegate, Thay witnessed the signing of the 1973 Paris Peace Accords.
