WE BEGAN WITH A QUESTION:
What would the world look like if the Church took seriously our call to be peacemakers?
In pursuit of the answer, we immersed ourselves into conflicts around the globe. What we discovered is that peacemaking is not just a good idea, it’s the mission of God and the vocation of God’s people.
“Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God.”
Matthew 5:9
/’pēs mākiNG/
pursuing the holistic repair of severed relationship
our journey led us to another question:
Who are peacemakers and what do they do?
Having studied alongside academic experts, walked with peacemaking practitioners all over the world, and lived it out on the streets of our neighborhoods, we’ve developed a four-practice framework for Everyday Peacemaking. Today, we’re watching entire communities transform as individuals and churches embody these four practices:
Everyday Peacemakers see the humanity, dignity, and image of God in everyone.
Everyday Peacemakers contend, not by getting even, but getting creative in love.
Everyday Peacemakers move toward conflict with tools to heal rather than to win
Everyday Peacemakers share tables with former enemies and celebrate the big and small ways God is restoring our broken world.
A compelling introduction to Everyday Peacemaking by our co-founders that invites you to move toward brokenness, armed with tools to transform. (Learn more)
