Department of Peacemaking Services

"Unity stands for peace in our lifetime, one life at a time." FAQs

The mission of the Department for Peacemaking of the Association of Unity Churches International is to assist ministers, teachers, lay leaders and their spiritual communities in embracing conflicts, transitional issues and growth-related challenges as a means of creating authentic community; to create thriving, coherent and integral organizations; to teach peacemaking and nonviolent communication skills that can be used in every aspect of individual and congregational life; to equip regional peace workers and transition specialists to serve as consultants and to expand Unity's influence for peace to other New Thought organizations.

These objectives are met, in part, through Education, Training and Certification and Peacemaking Services.

Training and Certification: Provide comprehensive and effective regional and national peace worker training intensives for certification of ministerial and lay peace workers and transition consultants.
Peacemaking Services: Provide onsite services including, but not limited to: congregational peacemaking processes, mediation, transition consulting and leadership capacity building.
