What
is the Plowshares Peace Studies Project?
Earlham, Goshen, and Manchester Colleges, together with the Lilly
Endowment, have entered into a new level of collaboration and commitment
of resources to create one of the strongest, most distinctive undergraduate
programs in the U.S. in peace, justice, and reconciliation. This
program is based on both intellectual reflection and praxis and
has its goal the motivation and preparation of tomorrow's world
citizens and leaders. The Plowshares grant provides a catalyst for
this effort, bringing together student, faculty, and alumni resources
from the 3 colleges, in combination with other partnerships, to
achieve this goal.
Why
is the project called Plowshares?
The
name Plowshares is taken from Isaiah 2:4 (NRSV):
"He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate
for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears in pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
