At the outset of this blog, most of you are probably classmates from Iliff's online course, "Women, War & Religion." This blog is beginning as one arm of a group project on the recent conflict in Liberia and the efforts (particularly of women) to establish and maintain peace.
So what might this blog accomplish? A few things:
- It can be a forum for sharing news, articles, media and thoughts pertaining to Liberia--past, present and future.
- It can be a place for sharing your thoughts and reactions to things that you read here, see elsewhere or think for yourself.
- It can hope to raise awareness and prevent future conflict (in Liberia and elsewhere.)
- It can celebrate the work of those who seek peace and reconciliation.
What else? What would you like to see here? What might you contribute, dear readers?
Great job on this blog!!
ReplyDeleteI can offer an article I wrote for Sojourners magazine about Liberia. Go to www.sojo.net, “site search” and type in “Holy, Healing Madness” and click on the article about Liberia. The first paragraph is a quote from Sam Harris but in the online version you can’t tell that, unfortunately, but it will help for you to know that.
