How can the peacebuilding philosophy shared and taught at Eastern Mennonite University\u2019s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding<\/a> (CJP) become more globally recognized?<\/p>\n

How can CJP expand its impact in the world?<\/p>\n

These simple, yet profound questions asked by CJP donors James and Marian Payn<\/a>e more than two years ago eventually led to the production of the latest double-sized issue of Peacebuilder<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This special edition explores the impact of initiatives that have emerged from EMU\u2019s Summer Peacebuilding Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Paynes provided the funds for EMU communications staff to travel around the world to learn about the successes and struggles of educational initiatives run by CJP-linked peacebuilders. Magazine founder and editor Bonnie Price Lofton<\/a>, who has since retired, was the primary writer, contributing most of the content after two mammoth journeys to three continents in the fall and winter of 2014-2015.<\/p>\n

The ripple effects of these peacebuilding initiatives are nothing short of amazing, writes CJP Executive Director J. Daryl Byler<\/a> in his introduction to the issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yet many of them wrestle with the same issues we face at CJP. How can peacebuilding organizations be financially viable for the long term, while remaining accessible to all who wish to expand their peacebuilding knowledge and skills? How do these centers continue to engage with their alumni in ways that are mutually beneficial? The peacebuilding field \u2013 and the funders and advocates who want it to succeed \u2013 have much to learn from these stories.\u201d<\/p>\n
