Peace Island: A Parallel Conference during the Republican National Conference

September 2-3, 2008

Concordia College, St. Paul

At the time of the 2008 Republican National Convention, national and world attention will be focused on the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis on the banks of the Mississippi River.
 
Peace Island will convene a solutions driven conference to promote and celebrate peace, justice, harmony, nonviolence and care of the earth. Nationally known speakers have been invited to participate in panels and discussions relating to their field of expertise.
