Nonviolence as a Healing Place

Many of us speak about working for peace or wanting to create a culture of peace, but there is one peace integral to creating the Beloved Community that many us forget about. Peace of mind. Let us remember that we in the nonviolence movement are not only educators and activists, but we are healers. It is our goal to heal through compassion and Agape--to listen with open ears and arms, and a welcoming word. We must lead by example. It is not enough to train others in the philosophy, but we must h… Continue

From the cheapest to the more grand there is something to accommodate every preference and plan. The impressive thing about youth hostel is that tons of university students flock to them since they are cheap and fun so there is constantly plenty of student travelers around to get-together with! In most every other part o… Continue

IS GODS WILL TAKING PLACE IN YOUR LIFE

Many pray for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Allowing Gods will, not ours to take place through those who worship the True God, Our Father, The Creator of all Things, The Most High, Jehovah of Armies.

Everyone on earth that ever was or ever will be...all belong to the Creator of the Heavens & and earth. It is a fact all are born imperfect, sinful and with free will.… Continue

Do You Believe In God?

Do you believe in God? This question may be one of the most important questions you'll ever be asked in your life. St. Matthew 16:26, Jesus said, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" I want you to really think about what that verse is implying. Many people in the world today believe in many things but they don't believe in God. You may be one of them. If that is true, I would hope that you would… Continue

Can’t We All Just Get Alone?

It's one thing to sit down at Church and sing “Oh, How I Love Jesus” but it's another to leave the Church, and learn to love one another in everyday life. Our ability to relate and get along with others in peace and perfect harmony is the foundation to Christianity. How we treat and interact with one another has a profound impact on our ability to function effectively in life.… Continue

Be The Difference You Want To See In The World

My story began in 2008, during the same period that President-Elect, Barack Obama, was preparing for his historic transition to become the first African-American President of The United States of America. His dramatic rise to the Presidency fostered a sense of excitement in the country and it centered around one powerful word: Change. Little did I know at the time that the word "change" would be a central theme for me, my family and my home town of Monroe, Louisiana. The type of change Obama cam… Continue

Interracial couple denied marriage license in La.

What century are we in again? I love the guy's argument that he's not racist. "I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else." He lets black people use his bathroom. Well that changes everything..... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091016/ap_on_re_us/us_interraci… Continue

Adultry & Fornication...children that are exploited as a result

Without the accurate knowledge from Gods word taken & applied in one's life, often the truth gets twisted by those who claim to be servents of our creator.Our father is forgiving indeed however along with forgiveness comes disiplin. Yes in the bible it does speak of Kind David, he had an affair with a married woman & then had her husband placed in the front lines of combat where he was killed. The adulterus affair brought about a child who later passed. God is just and does not tolerate… Continue

The Gathering’s Mission

The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.

Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
