Student Peace Alliance

Dear Joseph,

SPA National ConferenceThe 2010 Student Peace Alliance National Conference hosted at Southwestern University was a huge success! Youth from across the nation gathered in Georgetown, TX on February 26 - 28 with the common purpose of making sustainable peace a reality, both domestically and internationally. Joined by leading experts in the fields of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and violence prevention and intervention, conference attendees gained valuable tools, knowledge and insights that will prove crucial to our work. You are invited to visit our website to see a list of presenters and organizations at the Conference.

"On my knees I beg you to turn away from the paths of violence. . . .I say to you, with all the love I have for you, with all the trust I have in young people: do not listen to voices which speak the language of hatred, revenge, retaliation. Do not follow any leaders who train you in the way of inflicting death. . . .Give yourself to the service of life, not the work of death. Violence is the enemy of justice. Only peace can lead the way to true justice." - Pope John Paul II, September 29, 1979

War is always a defeat for humanity.
