In our world of war, violence, and poverty, all are invited to join hands and work to bring “Peace for the World’s Children.” The plight and promise of children will be featured during the 2010 Lake Junaluska Peace Conference through keynote speaker presentations and workshops which will prepare us to be strong advocates for children in every arena of our lives.
None suffer more than children and youth, yet they are our greatest hope for the future, for peace, and for justice. For the sake of peace in the world, we come to this year's Conference "...responding to God's call for the world's children and youth to come to the table of peace, looking for ways to heal their wounds and raise them up for the work of peace."
For the first time, the Lake Junaluska Peace Conference includes a Saturday - Sunday session specifically for children, youth and their adult leaders. Everyone is welcome, and we hope that many of those coming for the Sunday-Tuesday conference will arrive in time for a "bridging" of the two sessions on Sunday afternoon during the first annual Peace Walk around the lake and Festival of Peace, which will be led by youth and children.
Peace Conference Leaders include:
Marian Wright Edelman
Dr. Jeni Stepanek
Bishop Kenneth Carder
Dr. Luther E. Smith
