"blessed are the peacemakers"

or, if you prefer, "happy are the peacemakers." jesus said it, and it's true, although probably some of us who want to be peacemakers oten thhink that "tired and frustraed are the peacemakers" is more likely true. On the other hand, if there is no peace, perhaps we are really only -eace-wishers, or war-opposers.

if you're serious about becoming a blessed, happy peacemaker, join us for a conversation to help bring that about. we will use jim forest's the ladder of the beatitudes, as well as sharing our own experiences. (The book will be at Village Books at the front desk).

this conversation about peacemaking starts on the 8th of november, a tuesday, at 7:00, at Beatus: the art of prayer, 215 west holly, G-4 (the bellingham hardware building, corner of holly and bay).
