Be the seminary for people and ideas that transform conflicts, build cultures of peace, promote social cohesion, and create opportunities for authentic human development.

“Pax Potest; Mutatio Potest” Peace is Possible; Change is Possible. It takes people to make war; it also takes people to make peace. Development is of people, by people, and for people; it’s all about people, not things. With the right conditions, spaces, and processes, the passions of war turn into desires for peace; and the stumbling blocks to human progress turn into stepping stones of transformative, genuine, sustainable, and inclusive development. We work to facilitate and build flourishing and peaceful communities that cherish and harness diversity, act justly and inclusively, and promote the goodness and dignity of all.

Peace and Development are Possible because Change is Possible.

Work collaboratively; cherish and harness diversity; act justly and inclusively, and promote the goodness and dignity of all.

The hottest flames end up as cold ashes; ashes can fertilize and grow new life. New and peaceful relationships can emerge from the hottest conflicts.
