From South Sudan and Central America to Congo and Colombia, the Catholic Church is a powerful force for peace and reconciliation. This often untold and unheralded dimension of the Church’s mission has not been systematically examined by scholars and is often ignored or misunderstood by policymakers.
• What constitutes effective and authentically Catholic peacebuilding?
• How can Catholic peacebuilding practices inform and be informed by Catholic spirituality, theology, and ethics?
• What are future challenges for Catholic peacebuilding?
