In the Peace Skills training package, which includes a Leaders' Guide and a Participant's Manual, expert workshop leaders Alice and Robert Evans and Ron Kraybill (known for for their work on the South African peace and reconciliation movement) distill their many years of experience teaching peace-building skills to community leaders around the world. The Leader's Guide is designed to prepare people to lead Peace Skills workshops in their communities. It contains workshop designs and guidelines for teaching with role plays, case studies and sacred texts. The Manual is designed as a take-home resource to support workshop participants as they return to their communities and both apply their mediation skills and share their insights with others. This wise resource is a powerful tool for church lay leaders and clergy, church consultants, and missionaries and international peace workers.
