McKenna is a nonviolence trainer and activist for social change and ecological justice. His work in Australia includes the award-winning EPYC (Empowering Peacemakers in Your Community), the Peace Tree Community (what some are calling an “Australian New Monastic Community”), and Together for Humanity (a multi-faith program challenging religious and racial prejudice through active service). He is a keynote speaker at the Church of the Brethren National Youth Conference in Colorado earlier in July.

“A new world is emerging,” said Martin Luther King Jr. Across Australia and internationally—be it with small grassroots environmental collectives or large “mega” churches, Buddhist retreats or Islamic colleges, orphans of war or Oxfam staff, school students or prison inmates—Jarrod McKenna has been seeking to inspire, equip, educate, and empower communities in the grace-filled practices of living into this “new world” by rediscovering the “Sermon on the Mount.” For more information about Jarrod McKenna, go to www.paceebene.org/user/8.
