Ministry for Peace

It's such a great idea: each government should have a Ministry for Peace. Simple as that.

Stella Cornelius believes this to be so. The Ministry for Peace website says of Stella:

Founder and Director of the Conflict Resolution Network (CRN) she is a peacemaker and a peace builder, a mother, grandmother and octogenarian.

Well known and highly respected on a global level for her work in the CRN and for providing this vital public service which is now used on a global scale to people of all classes and economic status. Dr Cornelius has initiated the following campaigns and programs.

In 1982 she launched an Australian campaign for a Ministry for peace established at Federal Government level which would “professionalise peace” and equalise opportunity between military and non-confrontational approaches. A book was published: ISBN 09499653024.

There's an event on the 29th October 2008 at the NSW Parliament House. Macquarie Street, Sydney 2000. It's open to interested people.

9am – 12.30pm, 29th October 2008

The inaugural Ministry For Peace’s Corporate Ecology Forum will be the opportunity to share views on the role that corporations have in bringing and maintaining peace to our world.

The Forum aims to provide new insights and indicate a way forward for corporations, should they plan to exist in the fast emerging culture of peace.

Five speakers from diverse disciplines will present cutting edge perspectives on why peace will
be the new brand on company’s balance sheets and why corporations cannot ignore it.
Forum Speakers:
Dr Claire Jankelson, Educator, Consultant and Facilitator
Sharon Ryan, Business Transformation Executive, Fujitsu Australia Limited
Bronwyn Edwards, OD Consultant and Executive Coach
Robert C. Hinkley, Corporate Lawyer
Chris Collingwood, Managing Director, Inspiritive Pty Ltd

I'll be there. I want to be part of getting this peace process on the road.
