On Earth Peace gives peace resource to ministry students.

On Earth Peace is giving a copy of Dale Brown's book "Biblical Pacifism" to each ministry student and minister-in-training in the Church of the Brethren. With a concern for pastoral leadership well-grounded in the scriptural basis of the teachings of the church, On Earth Peace is donating copies of the book to students at Bethany Theological Seminary and its Susquehanna Valley Satellite, and all participants in the nondegree ministry training programs TRIM and ACTS. In addition, the book will be available to students in district-based ministry training programs.

On Earth Peace also has offered to provide leadership for seminars or Bible studies focused on the book by Brown, a retired Bethany professor who continues to teach as adjunct faculty for the seminary's satellite program.

Leaders of ministry training programs were appreciative. "Let me express deep gratitude for this generous gift to the students. Dale's book is timeless and important," said Amy Gall Ritchie, director of student development at Bethany.

The gift of hundreds of books is made possible by a donation from longtime supporters of On Earth Peace. "We deeply appreciate the initiative and generosity of these donors," said Bob Gross, co-executive director. "We are always glad for this kind of partnership with other denominational institutions, and with committed individual members who care about the faithfulness and vitality of the church."
