Co-founded in 1982, The Agape Community is a lay Catholic residential community, ecumenical and interfaith in outreach and practice, with a focus on daily prayer, evangelical simplicity and nonviolent witness in the world, including actions against war, peace vigils, non-cooperation with war/living under taxable income and civil disobedience when called, as we attempt to build a nonviolent world.
