description: SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES is a unique anthology of 27 skits and one-act plays on topics such Jesus as Prince of Peace; early Anabaptist and Quaker peace heroes; Gandhi and nonviolence; the worship of the nation state; the threat of nuclear war; racial prejudice; war taxes; world hunger; and human rights violations.The plays can be used as chancel dramas, programs for meetings, and as dramatic witness to peace and justice concerns in many settings, both ecclesiastical and secular. As the author states in an introductory article, "Peace education can happen at any time, in any place. One way to use the plays, therefore, is simply to read and ponder them."Each play is followed by suggestions for discussion and activities related to the play's theme or focus.
