<\/a><\/center>\nIf we are to achieve a culture of peace, it will have to come about by nonviolent means. <\/p>\n
Fortunately there are many initiatives for nonviolence, as we have found in the reviews of CPNN, for example, the CPNN bulletin of May 2016.<\/a>. <\/p>\n What does nonviolence look like. Here is the description by Martin Luther King, speaking of Mahatma Gandhi: \u201cnonviolent resistance is not a method for cowards; it does resist. If one uses this method because he is afraid or merely because he lacks the instruments of violence, he is not truly nonviolent. This is why Gandhi often said that if cowardice is the only alternative to violence, it is better to fight\u2026 nonviolent resistance \u2026 is not a method of stagnant passivity\u2026 For while the nonviolent resister is passive in the sense that he is not physically aggressive toward his opponent, his mind and his emotions are always active, constantly seeking to persuade his opponent that he is wrong. The method is passive physically but strongly active spiritually. It is not passive non-resistance to evil, it is active nonviolent resistance to evil.\u201d<\/p>\n Readers are encouraged to comment below on this theme which refers to the following CPNN articles since 2015. <\/p>\n For previous discussion and list of CPNN articles before then, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nonviolence News Special Report: 366+ Success Stories in 2024<\/a><\/p>\n Training for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence<\/a><\/p>\n Campaign Nonviolence Action Days 2024 \u2013 Calls-To-Action<\/a><\/p>\n United Nations: Non-Violence Day offers prospect for \u2018new era of peace, trust and tolerance\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n These six global struggles show the power of nonviolence in action<\/a><\/p>\n October 2nd a Nonviolence Day in the White West<\/a><\/p>\n The Peace Brigades International, Guernica Peace Prize<\/a><\/p>\n Lebanon: Interview with Ogarit Younan (prize for conflict prevention and peace)<\/a><\/p>\n Book review: What if the government abolished the military?<\/a><\/p>\n Chile: declaration of \u201cWorld without Wars and Violence\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Extinction Rebellion, not political? \u201cWe occupied the center of Paris for five days!\u201c<\/a><\/p>\n Done with violence?<\/a><\/p>\n Pax Christi leaders believe nonviolence education can change world<\/a><\/p>\n Mexico: authorities sign agreement for peace in Tecom\u00e1n<\/a><\/p>\n USA: Season for Nonviolence begins 5th Season<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolence Charter: Progress Report 13 (October 2018)<\/a><\/p>\n Why unarmed civilian protection is the best path to sustainable peace<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolence Charter: Progress Report 12 (April 2018)<\/a><\/p>\n Search for Common Ground: Vision for 2018<\/a><\/p>\n International Day of Non-Violence celebrations held in Nairobi, Kenya<\/a><\/p>\n Conference of the Asia-Pacific Peace Research Association<\/a><\/p>\n Peace Brigades International is recruiting field volunteers for Kenya<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolence Charter: Progress Report 10 (Apr 2017)<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolence Highlights in 2016<\/a><\/p>\n Bernard LaFayette Jr. Wins Gandhi Award<\/a><\/p>\n Tucson students learn \u2018non-violence\u2019 way of life amidst anti-Trump protests<\/a><\/p>\n From pacifism to nonviolence in Berlin<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolence Charter: Progress Report #8 (April 2016)<\/a><\/p>\n Mennonite Central Committee: Peace education in photos<\/a><\/p>\n Zanzibar Peace, Truth & Transparency Association<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolent Peaceforce: A paradigm shift?<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolent Peace Force Nominated for 2016 Nobel Peace Prize<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolent Peaceforce Strategy: 2015-2020<\/a><\/p>\n USA: Campaign Nonviolence Week of Action II, September 20-27, 2015<\/a><\/p>\n US: Response to the Massacre in Charleston; Grieve, But then Teach and Organize Nonviolence<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolent Peaceforce in Ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n Nonviolent Peaceforce: \u00a0Women\u2019s Peacekeeping Teams incorporated into South Sudan communities<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If we are to achieve a culture of peace, it will have to come about by nonviolent means.
