Peace Comes to Gordon College

By: Angela Rodriguez


WENHAM, MA-- When students at Gordon College think about the world outside of their little bubble, they aren’t automatically drawn to the need for peace. But perhaps it is time Gordon students and the rest of the Christian community realizes the need for peacemakers.

On September 21st Gordon College observed the International Day of Peace in a different way than the rest of the world. The Department of Sociology and Social Work at Gordon College used this opportunity to launch their new minor, Peace and Conflict Transformation. Special guest Dr. David Steele, an expert on peace and conflict transformation, spoke to the students in chapel, and in discussions about the need for peacemakers during this time of turmoil.
