shalom
- salam
let peace and justice kiss
(shah-lohm,
sa-laam) n. Hebrew, Arabic
Shalom / Salam is a word rich in meaning:
Peace, justice, and truth. It anticipates freedom, community, wholeness
and well-being. Shalom / Salam
embraces all people and creation in reconciliation, restoration,
and harmony. It is born when righteousness and peace kiss each other
and the oppressed and disenfranchised receive dignity and power.
Envision personal relationships, institutions, and society honoring
the worth of all persons. Ultimately, peace starts with you. So speak
with love, build a viable community, and send away somebody unhurt. |
