Decade to Overcome Violence
What is DOV?
The Decade to Overcome Violence calls churches, ecumenical organizations, and all people of goodwill:
-
To work together for peace, justice, and reconciliation at all levels - local, regional, and global.
-
To embrace creative approaches to peace building which are consonant with the spirit of the gospel.
-
To interact and collaborate with local communities, secular movements, and people of other living faiths towards cultivating a culture of peace.
-
To empower people who are systematically oppressed by violence,
and to act in solidarity with all struggling for justice, peace, and the integrity of creation.
-
To repent together for our complicity in violence, and to engage in theological reflection to overcome the spirit, logic, and practice of violence.

Journey of Promise
The Journey of Promise brought together a group of young people from the three Abrahamic faiths in an intensive experience of sharing and exploring faith and culture across a broad range of contemporary life in Sydney; and recorded this experience in a video/DVD for wider awareness, discussion and activities elsewhere.
