Getting Naked for Peace......and more!

Leymah Gbowee, a Liberian woman profiled in a recent Newsweek magazine story, created a Peace movement in the midst of a brutal civil war. Peace talks were going nowhere. In frustration she disrobed publicly, a form of spiritual emasculation in her culture. The act of getting naked, spurred the men involved in Peace negotiations forward. Peace has returned to Liberia.

There's more! In the Philippines wives of feuding villagers recently decided to withhold sex from their husbands until they created Peace. Of course it worked!

What bold and previously unthinkable action might you take for Peace?

Love,
Darlene
