Family Violence in Canada

Turn Mourning into Dancing

As Jesus ministered to the physical and emotional wounds of those who endured marginalization and mistreatment, we, through our baptism, are called to do the same. We are called to work toward “The Great Ends of the Church,” as stated in our Book of Order. Two ends that seem particularly relevant to this paper are “the shelter, nurture, and spiritual fellowship of the children of God,” and “the promotion of social righteousness.” Victims and survivors of domestic violence are children of God in need of “shelter, nurture, and spiritual fellowship.” Their wounds call us to work for social righteousness.

Violence at Schools

Decreasing Violence Through Conflict Resolution

High profile episodes of school violence such as those in Littleton, Colorado, Paducah, Kentucky and Springfield, Oregon, have increased the public's awareness and concern about violence in our schools. With the focus on the damaging results of violence and over reliance on formal legal measures, students who are involved in even minor conflict may find themselves in detention, suspended, expelled or referred to court. The option of teaching students alternative conflict resolution skills instead is often over looked despite its greater success in achieving school safety.
