Peace-ing It Together with Annica and Ben
Peacemaking isn't just for activists and hippies - it's for anyone navigating work, community life, or hobbies in a way that resists the assumption that violence is an inevitable part of the human condition. Join Annica and Ben as they talk to folks cultivating peace in unexpected ways, from directing a formal nonprofit to re-directing conversations and actions in faith communities, civic life, and creative work. A production of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship - presbypeacefellowship.org.

Rev. Annica Gage and Rev. Ben Fitzgerald-Fye are here to talk about what even is peacemaking anyway, whether being a "peacemaker" is a title for activists or a practice for everyone (spoiler: it's everyone), what challenges peacemakers face, and why they're curious to learn more about how other folks go about making peace in the world.
