The Story of a Spiritual Movement for Love and Peace in Latin America

Funding to advance a landscaping partnership with Dr. Nina Balmaceda, associate director of Duke Divinity School’s Center for Reconciliation and Transformation and national director for Peace and Hope International. The purpose of this mapping project is to uncover the history, spiritual inspiration, and organizational sacred story of Peace and Hope International, an international faith-based NGO, during its first 25 years of work, serving the most vulnerable populations in Peru and Latin America. This research project will support the Institute’s emerging shared sacred movement by lifting the sacred story of an important missing link in our connective tissue: LatinX faith leaders and the cross-pollinated networks they have nurtured that have transformed the political, social, and spiritual landscape of Latin America. This project will catalyze ‘making the invisible visible’ through mapping the story of a spiritual movement of Love in Latin America.
