Over the last few weeks, I have featured posts on The Art of Peacemaking , one of five presentations I deliver in my PEOPLE SKILLS Workshop. The other sessions are The Art of Listening , The Art of Encouragement , Resolving Your Past , and Resolving Conflicts . Please contact me if your non-profit group or church would like to host a one-day event on PEOPLE SKILLS. All my non-profit/church presentations can be found at this website. For the business world, I offer The Art of Listening as a half-day interactive workshop.

Over the next few months on my Wednesday posts, I will be writing about Resolving Conflicts —the final piece in my PEOPLE SKILLS material. It’s a huge topic with much to cover and I’ll only scratch the surface. Your input and feedback are always welcome.

To wrap up our last series of posts on peacemaking, I’ll leave you with this delightful poem of personal commitment from Seymour Miller and Jill Jackson:

Let there be peace on earth,

And let it begin with me.

Let there be peace on earth;

The peace that was meant to be.

With God as our Father, brothers all are we.

Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me;

Let this be the moment now.

With every step I take let this be my solemn vow:

To take each moment, to live each moment,

In peace eternally.

Let there be peace on earth,

And let it begin with me.
