| This book shares some of the new conversation between members of
the Historic Peace Churches (Mennonites, Quakers, and Brethren) as they
reflect on their theology in light of the World Council of Churches'
current Decade to Overcome Violence. It includes updated presentations
rooted in a historic gathering of theologians of these three
traditions, in Switzerland in 2001, at the beginning of the Decade.
Offered are fresh readings of biblical and theological concepts as well
as reflection on contemporary challenges and opportunities. These
16 chapters plus other materials examine theological understandings in
the light of current world realities. This includes reflection on the
reality of globalized culture and structures of power, and on the role
of national histories. Chapters also reflect on identity and context
and how these shape understandings of peace. Authors look at biblical
models of peacemaking but also explore the way concepts of land and
place, in Christian and in other faith traditions, contribute to peace.
Reflection from a variety of contexts, including Nigeria, Korea,
Colombia, Paraguay, the British Isles and North America, adds richness
to the collection. Copyright 2004 Cascadia Publishing House | | | | Seeking Peace in Africa: Stories from African Peacemakers | View shopping basket | | by Donald E. Miller, Scott Holland, Lon Fendall, & Dean Johnson, | |

Peace
| Seeking Peace in Africa is a direct reply to the World
Council of Churches' Decade to Overcome Violence. The WCC appealed to
the Historic Peace Churches to share their responses to the enormous
reach of terror and violation of human life in this generation. The
stories in this volume are the hopeful responses of Africans who have
lived through horrific violence. Some are unbearable tales of despair
at the loss of millions of lives due to warfare, riots, terror,
starvation, AIDS and disease. Others are remarkable descriptions of
courageous peacemaking in the midst of nearly impossible circumstances.
