Rev. Ted and Ruth Brewer have served as Directors of New Peace
Network since 1995. Between them, they bring over 50 years of
ministry experience to their burden for this regional network
that helps Christians in New England and the Northeast pursue
peace in their relationships to foster renewal in their regions.

Specialized training in peacemaking:
Then in 1995 the Brewers followed God's call to found the New
Peace Network. Since then they have received extensive training
in Christian conciliation through Peacemaker Ministries and
Ted has pursued additional training through the Woodstock Institute
for Negotiation and the Academy of Family Mediators.
