Dr. Saul Arbess and Penny Joy are world experts in peace-building methodologies by addressing the root causes of violence. Dr. Arbess is an anthropologist, co-chair of the Canadian Department of Peace Initiative and was chair, Global Alliance for Ministries and Departments of Peace. Ms. Joy is a documentary film producer and also works with the Restorative Justice initiative in both her local community and a prison population and is a founder of the Canadian Department of Peace Initiative. In a startling and powerful presentation, they will have each of us become the Minister of Peace for a particular "country." We will be given the opportunity to look back on the achievements and obstacles of a first year in office. What has worked? How did we achieve success? What were the challenges? We will then go on to consider ways and means of moving forward, working with the other 'ministers' present towards a sustainable peace, culminating in an assessment of the global movement for ministries and departments of peace in all nations.
