We won’t always agree. But we can always listen. Making space for different perspectives helps us understand each other better. 💬

Today is the International Day of Peace 🕊️ This year’s theme, “Invest in Peace. For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” reminds us that peace is built from the ground up, through everyday encounters and relationships.

What if Christians became known for listening? Not just listening to respond. Not listening to defend. Not listening to convince. Just listening.

A reminder today to choose peace.

Change begins when we choose curiosity over assumption. A simple question can open a door. A willingness to listen can change a conversation. Let’s be people who seek to understand before we seek to be understood!

We don't always need to solve a disagreement to make a difference. Sometimes crossing a divide starts with a question, a conversation, or a willingness to listen. What small step could you take this week?💭

In July, the team joined global leaders at the Anglican Consultative Council in Belfast. We’re excited to continue investing in reconcilers, including a new Young Peacemakers Fellowship with the Anglican Communion Youth Network. Grateful to be part of this shared vision.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Matthew 5:9 Jesus didn't call us to be peacekeepers. He called us to be peacemakers. Choosing understanding over division starts with everyday conversations.

Be Curious. Tanny shares his thoughts on cancel culture and why taking time to understand another person's perspective matters. Why not explore these conversations in your youth group this summer? Difference helps young people listen well and grow in understanding together.

Proud to be a partner organisation at ACC-19, wonderful to work with the Anglican Communion Youth Network on championing the voice of young peacemakers!

In a noisy world, slowing down to listen is a radical act. May we be quick to listen, slow to speak, and open to what God might teach us through connecting with others.

Be Curious. Be Present. Reimagine. Three simple habits that shape how we follow Jesus in a complex and divided world. A way of seeing others with curiosity, showing up with presence, and holding hope for something new.
