The
Peace Center of Delaware County.
a Place, a Space, a State of Grace in our own hometown

The Peace Center of Delaware County is a gathering and community place
for planning, dreaming, and living Peace. The role of the Peace
Center is to help build a peace and justice community in Delaware County that
serves the needs of local activist organizations, families and individuals
seeking to integrate peacemaking into their lives; and congregations,
organizations, and individuals to link the search for spiritual peace with the
movement for peace on earth. The Peace Center is a place to share meals,
conduct meetings, sponsor educational forums, celebrate and party, recite
poetry, dance, sing, build, and make peace.The Peace Center is also an
incubator for ideas on how to strengthen the peace and justice movement,
function collectively, provide training for activism, secure and store
important tools, and develop a peace and justice movement that promotes racial,
religious, and cultural diversity.
The Peace Center is under the care of the Chester Quarterly Meeting of Friends. It is a project of, and operates within the physical space, of the Springfield Friends Meeting. A Steering Committee, comprised of local members of the Society of Friends and local peace and justice activists, is responsible for the fiscal and program operation of the Peace Center.
