520 |a Every day, men and women risk their lives to stop violence in religiously charged conflicts around the world. You may not know their names - but you should. Peacemakers in Action, Volume 2 provides a window into the triumphs, risks, failures, and lessons learned of eight remarkable, religiously motivated peacemakers including: A Methodist bishop in the Democratic Republic of the Congo who confronts armed warlords on his front lawn; A Christian who travels to Syria to coordinate medical aid and rebuild postwar communities; A Muslim woman, not knowing how Kabul's imams will react, arrives to train them on how to treat women -- respectfully. Volume 2 offers students of religious and grassroots peacebuilding informative techniques and methods for organizing community action, establishing trust in conflict, and instilling hope amid turmoil. -- Provided by publisher.
