Peace Through Pie

With a desire to unite the Anti-War, Pro-Peace Mothers' Movement, I have been enjoying the process of researching various efforts, individuals, groups and organizations whose goals are similar to mine.

In the process, I came across the following effort, Peace Through Pie, and  immediately liked the idea of hosting a Pie Social as a venue for opening up a community dialogue on peace through peaceful  means (envisioning anti-war, pro-peace literature scattered around on all the tables for people to pick up, review and discuss at their leisure).

Here's more about this effort:

Peace Through Pie is an expression of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream of a "Beloved Community", where everyone shares a piece of the pie. PTP's mission initiates and encourages conversation about the values we share and our ability to make peace with our neighbors. The pie, an age-old comfort food in many traditions around the world, symbolizes an inclusive equality with its circular form and diverse ingredients.

Peace Through Pie invites neighborhood associations, churches, schools, businesses, organizations, and individuals to host Dream Pie Socials, following a rich, historic precedent of hosting pie socials to benefit worthy causes. All it takes is one dream pie (any pie can be a dream pie if served with that intention) ...

Become a Pie-☮-neer for peace and celebrate Dr. King's January birthday, or host a pie social any day of the year. Everyone is invited to share their stories and imagine new ways to realize the Dream, one piece at a time.
