Prophets of Peace are everywhere

This may be a Sweet Autumn Clematis, at least it seems like the one I found on a    garden site. In person, it looks like a huge cloud of falling stars, has a lovely, sweet aroma and is really the only new thing blooming in the garden right now.

This weekend we held our annual Prophet of Peace Award ceremony. An award given to a person or group that exemplifies our corporate commitment through their life. This year we honored Alice Edwards, PhD, from Mercyhurst University. Alice, a professor of Spanish, has spent her life in classrooms, working with local immigrants and in developing multi-cultural relationships for her students and with other groups both in Erie and through her visits to Latin America. 

Some recent awardees were: Sister Simone Campbell, healthcare; SONS of Lake Erie (Save our Native Species), lake fishing, water conservation, and care for children; Linda King director of SAFENET, a refuge for women; Kelly Armour, multi-cultural musician, especially with children; Edwina Gateley, spirituality writer; and environmentalist Mike Campbell.
