This series is part of the Mission Inn Foundation’s series of programs called Toward Peace – exploring the history of Mission Inn founder, Frank Miller, and his peace activism in the World War I era. Toward Peace takes a deeper look at the history of Miller’s peace activism within the context of his times and also, explores the role his legacy provides us as individuals and communities as we negotiate our own extraordinary times.
