"Join us as KAIROS launches its 2003-2004 campaign 'Cultivating Just Peace'. This community-based campaign challenges the War on Terrorism's vision of how to build a safe and secure world. We invite you to explore with us an alternative vision of true security and just peace already being practiced in communities around the world, including your own. Through this campaign, KAIROS' educational resources and related events will raise public awareness of alternate visions. And through informed public debate and community-based discussion we will constructively critique the dominant vision of 'security'." -- p. 1.

"'In Peace and Friendship' is a response to those who faith or conscience compels them to understand more deeply the struggles of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. It provides an opportunity, particularly for non-Aboriginal people, to open themselves to a new perspective by exploring a relationship with the original inhabitants of this land that recognizes their unique nationhood. .... [It] is an educational resource for groups of youth or adults, within a congregation, a regional church body or as an open community event. There are five sessions. This resource could be used as a series of weekly workshops for a local group or linked together for a 2-day conference or retreat. The first and fifth sessions assume a Christian perspective". -- p. i.

"This essay is compiled from a series of five presentation given at a week-long workshop for the Canadian Religious Conference-Ontario in June 1999. It is substantively influenced by the excellent work of Lee Cormie, Maria Harris, Sylvia Keesmat, Ched Myers and Rosemary Radford Ruether". -- p. 1.
"As Jubilee resonates as a focal point for the collective work of churches and communities, no less is it a potential focus for personal spiritual practice. Maria Harris defines spirituality as a 'way of being in the world in the light of the Mystery at the core of Creation' (Harris, 1996, p. 2). Jubilee teaching has much to say about that 'way of being' with profound implications for a religious existence in today's world. We are challenged to explore Jubilee as a justice spirituality -- as 'a way of being' in the world at this time of great suffering and desperate hope -- in light of the mystery of creation and liberation at the core of our being". -- p. 1.
"This collection of reflections has been compiled by the Theology Committee of the Canadian Ecumenical Jubilee Initiative. The contributions are diverse .... But the contributors are united in their commitment to Jubilee concerns for release from debt and other forms of slavery, redistribution of wealth, and rest for the earth, to support for campaigns addressing these issues, and to the renewal of theology and the whole life of the church in this Spirit". -- p.
