HOW CAN I JOIN GCFP?

 

You can join as

a)      An endorser

b)      An active member

 What are my responsibilities and benefits?

 As an endorser…

There is no commitment.  You are making a statement that you would prefer to live in a society of love and respect rather than to live with violence and adding your name to the numbers that will support this approach to society.  The only requirement is to check the options on the registration form under supporter and sign the statement.

 As an active member…

You can participate at whatever level of commitment your time and responsibilities allow as detailed below.  You will receive announcements on programs and events being held or co-sponsored by GCFP and invited to participate.  We will also endeavor, through workshops, lectures and printed material, to share with you any tools that will be helpful in dealing with the many stresses that complicate our lives and get in the way of developing a more peaceful and non-violent lifestyle. 

The requirements as an active member are:

To sign the pledge and promote the initiatives of  GCFP, such as:

  • Talking to friends and family about the importance of non-violence

  • Organizing a local group

  • Helping to broaden the coalition by learning about and reporting on the work of other peace organizations

  • Helping to organize, and participating in, GCFP workshops, conferences and events

  • Participating in one of our programs for spreading Ahimsa (see list below)

 

Our Programs

 The Worldwide Sequential Meditation for Peace

Every Saturday evening at 6:00 PM we join with people all over the world in offering prayers and meditation for world peace. 

For information on meditation sites in Bethesda and Pittsburgh, call 301-654-6759 (Bethesda) and

412-655-3063 (Pittsburgh).

 Mother-to-Mother for Peace and Nonviolence This is a program that creates partnerships between mothers in conflicting cultures and nations for the purpose of supporting each other in their decision to raise their children in the ways of nonviolence.  The goal is to raise a generation of young men and women who will not consider war or violence as an option for resolving conflict.

 The New Economic Model  This program explores alternative economic models for the purpose of designing a new paradigm for a culture of peace and creating a more equitable world for all of earth’s citizens.  For information on meeting times and location call 301-654-6759. 

Theology of the Sickle – A program that engages farmers, consumers, and those living in poverty in complementary activities that will enable all people without discrimination to have access to an abundance of wholesome, life-sustaining food. 

 Peace Meals – On the first Saturday of each month Global Coalition for Peace offers live music, lunch, and an informative presentation on a peace-related issue. All are welcome, including children. There is no charge for this event.  Call 301-654-6759 for details.

Cooperation Not Competition – Play as friends not as enemies.  It’s time to turn the tide and prepare a new world for our children, a world that is dominated by courage rather than fear, where love is bringing us together rather than hatred tearing us apart.  A series of cooperative games being offered by GCFP gives people of all ages the opportunity to learn and play together in a non-competitive atmosphere.
