In 1983, Henri Nouwen was scheduled to address a group of Christian educators. Henri spent the five weeks prior to the talk in Switzerland, a country with a long history of armed neutrality. It’s likely the location influenced his thoughts and prayers because Henri spent much of his time contemplating Jesus’ statement “Blessed are the peacemakers.”
Soon, the content for his presentation to the educators emerged. Eventually, it would become the basis for his book Peacework.
We are delighted to offer this very special recording of Henri as our gift to you. In it, Henri underscores the importance of partnering prayer and peacemaking. It’s a powerful message we know you will appreciate during this Christmas season.
