Striving for Peace

.

This weekend, Concordia College of Moorhead MN hosted the Peace Forum, which circulates annually among a consortium of colleges in the region. Among the guest speakers were Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea, and Muhammed Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner for his microloan program.

"Striving for Peace: Investing in Community" was a sell-out, and Concordia is promising video will be available on their website today. Do stop by and we'll update the link as soon as it's up.

Given the fractious, and yeah, tawdry, ol' world right now, we think this is a nice place to be today.
