<p align="left">Long before the recent flare-up of hostilities in
the Middle East, Southwestern University senior Ansa Copeland wanted to
put together a conference on peace and religion.</p>
<p align="left">Her goal was not to address specific current
events, but the general concept of peace, and how persons of different
religions and conviction relate to and understand peace. </p>
<p align="left">The result is a conference to be held at
Southwestern Oct. 11-12 titled “Making Multi-faith Connections in the
Practice of Peace and Non-Violence.”</p>
<p align="left">The highlight of the conference will be an Oct.
11 keynote speech by Arun Gandhi, grandson of famed Indian peace
activist Mahatma Gandhi and founder of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for
Nonviolence. Gandhi will give a speech titled “Lessons from Grandfather
in Peace and Social Justice.” It will begin at 7 p.m. in the Lois
Perkins Chapel on the Southwestern campus. </p>
<p align="left">Registration for the conference is $5 for members
of the Southwestern University community and $15 for the general
public. Registrants may attend as many of the conference events as they
wish. <br>
