Amendment 32 to Article II - Proposed by Mac Goekler

I see this is now a preliminary priority Amendment, so I am trying to imagine where the Value of Peace would go in the list. (I know it’s not meant to be a list, but it inevitably will be a list!)

I think it would nice to list it last. With another of the new Values in the preliminary list, Gratitude, maybe the list would read well in this order:

Gratitude
Interdependence
Pluralism
Equity
Justice
Transformation
Generosity
Peace

Other ideas?

I personally find that trying to put things in an order that flows well helps me find unnecessary (and jarring) duplications of ideas or wording.

(My former post: I definitely value peace, but it seems like it overlaps in some ways with the Justice Value? Is there any way your ideas could be incorporated into Justice? It might take some serious re-working, but I think it would be worth it. The easiest way to combine them that I can think of is to extend the last sentence of Justice to say: “We support the use of inclusive democratic processes and non-violent means of conflict resolution.” But that may not be adequate to your purpose.)
