Peacemaking is not a quick thing. It is a marathon rather than a sprint.
To help learn those lessons, this year I’m running the Detroit Marathon on October 29 as a Run For Peace, a fundraiser for Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice.
After over forty years, ICPJ has shown that it is in the struggle for a just and peaceful world for the long haul. I hope that I show that much resilience after over forty kilometers.
You can donate to ICPJ online to support my Run for Peace.
