A Day of Peace | For 24 Hours, Give Peace a Chance

A Day of Peace | For 24 Hours, Give Peace a Chance AOC Daily Musings

By Lisa Catherine Brown

What if a dream of peace could be realized even if for a day? One young man — Shephen Shoemaker — had an idea for A Day of Peace with three rules. He posted it on Facebook.

We at AOC think it’s a great idea and another way that social networking can touch our lives in a positive way so Anne made the quick decision to support the cause and I quickly followed.

This isn’t a United Nations pass for individuals and groups to create practical ideas of peace. It’s not a week of brainstorming on how to get along, bridge differences and lessen the gaps that divide us. It’s just one guy asking people to try, simply try, to follow three principles for one day to be a better person and see what happens. Today is that day.
