(shah-lohm,
sa-laam) n. Hebrew, Arabic
Shalom / Salam is a word rich in meaning:
Peace, justice, and truth. It anticipates freedom, community, wholeness
and well-being. Shalom / Salam embraces all people and creation in
reconciliation, restoration, and harmony. It is born when righteousness
and peace kiss each other and the oppressed and disenfranchised receive
dignity and power. Envision personal relationships, institutions,
and society honoring the worth of all persons. Ultimately, peace
starts with you. So speak with love, build a viable community, and
send away somebody unhurt.
