GRACE
Being peace workers walking in the name of GRACE, they did not come to the land to judge but to share in the lives of the human beings, to understand their situation from within themselves and to look for solutions from this vantage point. "We refuse to be enemies" was the sentence of empowerment which daily accompanied community building amongst so many different people.

Through the protection by the international group, the GRACE pilgrimages provide the possibility to directly experience and witness the state of the world in regions of conflict It allows pilgrims to enter global thinking and to find a position of effectively cooperating in global healing. The GRACE-Pilgrimages show paths out of powerlessness.

As co-workers of the Peace Research Center Tamera in Portugal, they develop a global perspective by researching and constructing concrete models of peace. (more: www.tamera.org)

The next pilgrimage is planned to take place in October 2008 in Colombia in cooperation with the Peace Village of San José de Apartadó. (more www.sos-sanjose.org). The GRACE-Pilgrimage through Israel/Palestine was a preparatory step towards the planned Peace Research Village (More on the Peace Research Villages: www.prv-association.org).
