Integrating Franciscan spirituality with action, the Franciscan Peace Center carries out the advocacy work of the corporate public stands taken by the Clinton Franciscans.  That work can take many forms: influencing lawmakers, prayer, educating individuals, mobilizing citizens to participate in the democratic process, and giving a voice to impoverished and marginalized people.  In 2021, the Clinton Franciscans committed to a plan based on the Laudato Si’ Action Platform (LSAP) – a call from the Vatican to work toward a more sustainable and just world. This episode of The “Center” is a conversation with the staff of the Franciscan Peace Center: Director of Strategic Planning, Jennifer Kryszak; Director of Digital Advocacy and Outreach, Laura Anderson; and Director of Programming, Marsha Thrall.  Join us as we discuss how we approach the mission of active nonviolence and peacemaking and how the LSAP provides a framework for our efforts.
