Glen Stassen Workshop at Save Our Communities Forum April 14

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are privileged to announce that longtime Peace Action National Board Member Glen Stassen will offer a workshop at the April 14 Save Our Communities Forum.
Glen Stassen chaired or co-chaired the Strategy Committee first for the Freeze Campaign, and then for Peace Action. He edited Peace Action: Past, Present and Future and Just Peacemaking: The New Paradigm for the Ethics of Peace and War. He will outline some skills from those studies for focusing on a hopeful vision that is getting results, not only opposing today's bad policy.
The workshop is titled, "Hopeful Visioning that Recruits Long-Term Members." Stassen describes it this way: We need strengthening of our organizations for the long-term, not only mobilizing individuals for a single action. That requires 1) connecting with loyalties and values people care about, 2) offering specific action that can make a difference for those loyalties, and 3) showing that we do get some results for our actions.
Stassen is currently Smedes Professor of Christian Ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary and remains a Peace Action Board Member.
