*“Soulforce” is perhaps the most generally-used translation of Mohandas Gandhi’s “satyagraha”, defined by Terrence Rynne as meaning “’firmly holding to the truth’ in the midst of conflict while reaching out with nonviolent, suffering love.”

** Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service, with roots in the Franciscan spiritual tradition, envisions transforming lives and changing the world, through providing education and resources that lead to action for nonviolent change.
