The Decade for a
Culture of Nonviolence originated from the work of twenty Nobel Peace
Laureates, including Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Desmond Tutu and
the Dalai Lama who appealed to the United Nations.
On November 10,1998, the UN General Assembly voted to designate
the years 2001-2010 as "The Decade for a Culture of Peace and
Nonviolence for the Children of the World."
The 1999 ELCA Churchwide Assembly committed this church to work with
other churches and organizations to build a Culture of Peace and
Nonviolence in the decade 2001-2010. |
