Give PEACE a chance! This issue is dedicated to the Peace Makers in the world. Every day, we hear reports of mass killings, hate crimes, wars, and other conflicts, but we seldom hear stories about peace initiatives. In this issue, you will find stories about history and current activities to help bring peace and nonviolence to our world. And, we give thanks to all those who serve this cause.

Wishing everyone joy and peace for this new year.
