Zones of Peace

Zones of Peace is a region-wide interfaith movement of churches, synagogues, mosques, other houses of worship, schools, and community-based organizations working to address the root causes of violence and make us safer in the communities where we live, work, and play. Zones of Peace recognizes organizations that are pioneering creative responses to violence and elevates their leadership.

Zones of Peace: Our Commitment

I commit as an individual:
to promote peace in my home and community.

I commit to work with others:
to eliminate the causes of hatred,
to honor the dignity of all people, to lay down our weapons,
and to find non-violent solutions when tempted to hurt another.

I commit to be an instrument of God’s peace:
to make my home and neighborhood Zones of Peace, free from fear,
filled with respect, and marked by deeds of kindness.
