We have shared our witness through public events such as "Eyes Wide Open" in which boots representing slain U.S. soliders and shoes representing fallen Iraqis were part of a solemn exhibit at Franklin & Marshall College.

We raise awareness about peaceful solutions and the Christian mandate to seek peace by sponsoring a speaker series. LIPW speakers have included Rev. Dr. Louis Butcher, Pastor of the Bright Side Baptist Church; Paul Abernathy (Iraq Veterans Against the War); Jim Wallis of Sojourners magazine; Donald Kraybill of Elizabethtown College; former CIA agent Ray McGovern; and peace activist Sister Joan Chittister.

Our Middle East Interest Group focuses attention on that region through book studies, discussions, and speaking events.

LIPW holds semi-annual Peace Conferences featuring speakers from a variety of disciplines to help the community reflect on the unfolding tragedy in Iraq and the Middle East.

Peace MarchWe participate in vigils and marches for peace.

LIPW has signed the Declaration of Peace.
