The Peace to the City Network is a global grassroots network of churches, peace and justice organizations, faith communities and civil society movements in cities around the world, engaged in local initiatives to overcome urban, political, ethnic and religious violence. Network members are commited to challenge and transform the global culture of violence in the direction of a culture of peace.  The network focuses on practical means to overcome violence via conflict prevention, conflict resolution, mediation, gun control and disarmament.  Do you live in a community where both the destructive forces of violence and imaginative efforts to overcome it through cross-community work are visible? Are you in contact with, or active in, action and study in some of the following areas in your own community?  If so, make your group the next partner in the Network!  If you are not sure whether peace-building work is going on in your area, contact local, national or regional councils of churches or other religious bodies to find out what they are doing. Discuss the Peace to the City Network and how it could apply in your area with local churches, religious communities and other groups.  Peacebuilding & Disarmament Programme, International Relations, World Council of Churches
