Finding Peace

Forgiveness is an act of peace.
Kindness is an act of peace
Understanding and even reflection are acts of peace.

Mary Baker Eddy said, "Of this we may be sure: that thoughts winged with peace and love breathe a silent benediction over all the earth." She showed through her life and work that individual actions can lead to peace.

Armed with magnifying glasses and confronted with expansive panels of stylized text and detailed pictures, this participatory exhibit asked visitors to find peace in printed quotations from Eddy and other great thinkers, objects from the collection, and four selected characteristics of a peacemaker: kindness, reflection, forgiveness, understanding.

For those who are joining us online, the exhibit also encompassed new and interactive content on this Web site, Facebook, Twitter, and more. Much is still available for you to explore, including videos from past programs. Click a bubble below to begin.
