Peace Ambassadors of West Texas

The Peace Ambassadors of West Texas were formed in January, 2006, under the guidance of Bishop Michael Pfeifer, O.M.I. His vision was to form a panel of two Christians, two Jews, and two Muslims who would lead a discussion and help to bring about an understanding of these three religions in San Angelo. Currently, the group is developing long-range plans to help promote peace throughout the Concho Valley and beyond.

HUGE Turnout at Youth Dialogue

The number of people that came to our Dialogue for Youth this evening was Fabulous! Bishop Pfeiffer estimated approximately 350 were in attendance. The youth listened to each panel member discuss various aspects of their religions. They were then invited to sign up to join the Peace Ambassadors at a later date, to discuss ways to help young people work toward peace. The lists are still being compiled, but at quick glance, it looked like approximately 20 young adults signed up, saying that they would be interested in joining us.

Wouldn't it be wonderful for there to be a "Junior Ambassadors of Peace and Love" program?

After the Dialogue, the Youth were given the opportunity to ask questions. Several asked questions at the microphone, but many more came up after the final blessing to ask questions more informally.
A very successful event! Thank you to Lori Hines and Holy Angels Church for inviting us.
