Shalom Center for Continuing Education
The Shalom Center is a non-profit educational center which provides opportunities for holistic education in areas of social, economic,
cultural, ecological, ethical, and theological importance on behalf of shalom (wholeness, health, and peace). Shalom seeks to engage
residents of Pleasant Hill and beyond in a lifelong learning process that is inclusive, imaginative, and celebratory, and which recognizes
the integrity of creation and the unity of its inhabitants. The Shalom Center is not part of PHCC, but many of its board members are
church members. In addition, PHCC supports Shalom through a yearly offering, and the Center's topics dovetail with interests and
issues supported by the church. Shalom recently hosted the Interfaith Amigos (for the second time) who spoke about interfaith dialogue
and their new book, "Religion Gone Astray." In January, Rev. Dan Romero of The Daniel F. Romero Border Ministries spoke about
border and immigration issues from various perspectives. Both visits were a series of weekend seminars.

ACAT - Action by Christians Against Torture
Founded in 1974 and with chapters in 25 countries, ACAT campaigns on behalf of people who are
tortured, detained in inhuman conditions, sentenced to death or "disappeared", whatever their origins,
political opinions or religious beliefs. ACAT seeks to increase awareness in the Churches and amongst
Christians of the existence of torture and the need, for reasons of Christian faith, to work towards its
abolition. ACAT seeks to promote prevention and vigilance with regards to abuses committed by law
enforcement officials in their own countries, as well as human rights education programs. The
Pleasant Hill group is independent from PHCC, but is made up of many PHCC members and receives a
yearly offering from the church.
