What Is Peace? Many members at Grace work and volunteer in the areas of peace and justice. Kelly Denton-Borhaug is one of them. She says: I am so grateful for the community and the worship at Grace. It really energizes me for my work as a teacher and scholar. She teaches in the Religion Department at Moravian College and is the co-director of the Peace and Justice Studies minor there. She is the author of U.S. War-Culture, Sacrifice, and Salvation. Kellys work is being increasingly recognized and supported; just this week she and her colleague learned theyve received an Enduring Questions Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. With her colleague, Dr. Bernie Cantens, a philosophy professor, she will use the funds to develop a new course at Moravian College called What Is Peace? Heres what they say about their project: What is Peace? On the surface, most undergraduate students probably feel confident answering this question. They may respond that peace is simply an absence of conflict or war, or a state of feeling content and tranquil. However, pushed to think further, they begin to realize that these are superficial responses that generate even more questions: How do we define peace? Why are there so many different visions of peace? Is peace realistic in a world filled with so much violence and war? What are the greatest challenges to achieving peace? Is peace sustainable? What role do social, political and economic conditions play in our understanding of peace? Are we obligated to pursue peace? This new course will address these questions and introduce undergraduate students to the complex notion of peace through its historical origins, evolution of meaning, and relation to second-ordered concepts. We will critically guide students through a carefully selected core reading list that presents them with a pluralistic view of theories and practices of peace, diverse approaches to peace, and numerous perspectives and prospects for achieving peace. Congratulations, Kelly! Grace is at work at Moravian. . .
