About this title

Synopsis

For over 110 years, Rotary has been struggling with how to achieve its Peace Mission. Building onthe priciples contained in the Rotary International publication Seven Paths to Peace (1957), this book begins the process of dialogue among Rotarian Peace Leaders to form a Collaborative and direct action to fill the Peace Leadership and Peace Education gaps within Rotary and the world, and accomplish our mission. According to author and Rotarian Robert Stewart, "We could be one decision away from world peace, and that is a civil society and Rotarian Peace Leaders' Collaborative deciding to tackle peace like we tackled polio." And Polio Plus Incorporated a strategic strategic, holistic, systemic, inclusive, big-picture perspective. Rotary has the opportunity and potential to facilitate a state of balance and harmony in the world. We can be facilitators to opposing sides, bringing a neutral, apolitical process to transform conflicts. We can help coexisitence for peace in our communities and world, so that everyone can live their lives free of the daily challenges of survival - safe families, safe communities, safe countries and a safe world. As Paul Harris said in "This Rotarian Age" (1935), this is not a Utopian dream... Rotary can do this. This world needs Rotary to step up and accomplish its potential. Robert Stewart, CPA, CMC and recipient of the YMCA Peace Medal, has been a leader in peacebuilding for more than two decades. It was at the Rotary International Conference in Calgary, Alberta in 1996 that Robert heard the same message from several keynote speakers, such as RI President Herb Brown, and Nobel Prize winners Oscar Arias and Betty Williams. That message? "Peace is the most worthwhile cause and you should do something about it." Since then, Robert has been working on how to help Rotary achieve its Peace Mission. His travels have taken him from Yellowknife, NWT, to France, Spain, Portugal, and twice to India. He has also visited numerous places in the U.S. for retreats, workshops and other spiritual events. He has a special spot in his heart for Sedona, Arizona. Stewart lives in Shediac, New Brunswick, Canada with transformational life-coach Anne-Marie Collette.
