Peace Starts Closer Than You Think

Every movement for peace began somewhere small: a conversation across a table, a friendship across a faith line, a campus that decided to listen.

This November, Principia College hosts its first interfaith conference, bringing together students, educators, religious leaders, and peacebuilders for three days on our campus above the Mississippi River. Through dialogue, hands-on workshops, creative collaboration, and shared reflection, you'll explore how faith traditions move people to act, from their own neighborhoods to the wider world.

You'll leave with practical tools for building bridges across difference, new connections, and one clear charge: go build peace.
