Beatitudes Society Summer 2011 Intern

I am a Mennonite Christian black feminist from northern Indiana. Having been involved in a lot of Mennonite peace and justice efforts throughout my life, I wanted to learn about Catholic approaches to spiritually-based nonviolent conflict resolution and social engagement.  It is a great opportunity to work with Pace e Bene in the areas of youth (the Nonviolent Options Project) and contextualization (making Engage accessible to grassroots communities that speak Spanish).
