| Sister Patricia McCarthy, CND, leads
workshops, missions and retreats on non-violence.
In proclaiming the year 2000 as the
International Year for the Culture of Peace, the
United Nations General Assembly defined a culture of
peace as the "(...) values, attitudes and
behaviours that reflect and inspire social interaction
and sharing based on the principles of freedom,
justice and democracy, human rights, tolerance and
solidarity (...)". This is a long-term process
that will be continued during the International Decade
for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the
Children of the World (2001-2010).
Sister Patricia’s text has been inspired by
the culture of peace and non-violence that
characterizes her social commitment. |
