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

"An important part of activism is that you actually have a hometown, or a neighborhood, that you are a part of." Pete Seeger, Journal for living, No. 26

The Peace Center of Delaware County is gathering place, a community space, and state of grace for meeting, planning, dreaming, and living Peace.The role of the Peace Center is to 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 who 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 experiment in living 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. Robin Lasersohn and Terry Rumsey serve as Co-Chairs of the Peace Center.
