Book synopsis

Every day, women and men risk their lives to stop violence in religiously charged conflicts around the world. This book provides a window into the triumphs, the risks, the failures, and the lessons learned of seven remarkable, religiously motivated peacemakers including a Methodist bishop in the Democratic Republic of Congo who welcomes armed warlords into his home, with prayer; a Christian who, despite pleas from her friends, travels to Syria to coordinate medical aid and rebuild war-torn communities; a Muslim woman who struggles against disability and her family to educate women, youth, and even imams in Afghanistan; and an Anglican vicar in Iraq who gets captured while negotiating for the lives of hostages and is thrown into a room with dismembered body parts. The new volume offers students of religious and grassroots peacebuilding tested techniques and methods for organizing community action, establishing trust in conflict, and instilling hope amid turmoil.
