Shanti Mitra Sangha was started at the initiative of MCC Bangladesh and the Brothers of Taize in Mymenshing, April 2007. It consists of over thirty volunteers and one full-time staff. All the members are young; most of them are still studying. Among them there are Hindus, Christians and Muslims – Bengalis as well as members of other ethnic groups. Shanti Mitra Sangha gathers once a month for reflection and planning, discussing peace related topics and sharing a meal together. The meetings always begin with a brief meditation, together with songs and readings from the different religious traditions. During the month, members participate in various activities or gather at the small office in Shanti Nir (“The House of Peace”) to prepare materials or simply be together.
