Faver compiles and analyzes passages from sacred texts, prayers, and poetry that emphasize peace, nonviolence, and reconciliation. The article highlights the transformative role of spirituality in promoting healing and ethical behavior, providing practical examples for educators, social workers, and community leaders. By drawing from multiple religious traditions, the study demonstrates that sacred narratives can serve as guiding frameworks for nonviolent action, personal growth, and community cohesion, supporting GRACE’s emphasis on interfaith harmony and moderation.This article is highly relevant for promoting peaceful coexistence, interfaith understanding, and youth engagement in nonviolent practices. Community engagement mechanisms include: • Using sacred texts and poetry in interfaith dialogue and reconciliation workshops. • Developing educational curricula around ethical principles and nonviolence drawn from spiritual sources. • Empowering communities to apply spiritual teachings in conflict resolution and peacebuilding initiatives. • Supporting training for social workers, counselors, and educators in values-based community engagement. The article is a valuable resource for GRACE, connecting spiritual wisdom with actionable strategies for nonviolence, reconciliation, and healing across communities.
