“When I came to Iliff, I didn’t really realize what Peace with Justice was about. Then I realized that’s where my ministry is – not just spiritual transformation but social transformation as well. I have learned so much in my classes here.”
-- Yong Hui MacDonald, Prison Chaplain Intern

“Thank you for one of the BEST praxis [seminar] experiences I have had since entering the doors of Iliff in January 2000. Not only did we get a chance to experience Social Justice and Peace, but we experienced it through the ARTS! It was transforming of ourselves first so that we could help transform the world.”
-- Charlene Wisher, Master of Divinity Student; Praxis Seminar Participant

“ Even though my background is in Peace Studies, Iliff's Justice and Peace Studies has been an invaluable addition to my education. Integrating my secular understanding into a spiritual framework has deepened my insight of justice issues and solidified my resolve to bring about a more peaceful world.”
-- Jinnie Trabulsi, Master of Divinity Graduate

“ Deeds or actions are an important part of my faith. Justice and Peace Studies offered me experience in finding projects that are consistent with my faith and skills in being successful in those efforts… the Justice and Peace Studies faculty helped me to amplify my ministry to the community.”
-- Richard C. Williams, Joint Master of Divinity and Social Work Student
