Across the globe, there are more than 50 armed conflicts, many of which are being perpetrated in the name of religion. In these zones of violence, there are brave men and women who, motivated by their religious beliefs, are working to create and sustain peace and reconciliation. Yet their stories are unknown. This book explores the conflicts and the stories of 15 remarkable individuals identified and studied by the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding from regions as far-flung as West Papua, Indonesia, the Middle East, Northern Ireland, Nigeria, El Salvador and South Africa. The book also captures important lessons learned when these peacemakers convened in Amman, Jordan for the 2004 Peacemakers in Action Retreat and discussed their best techniques and greatest obstacles in creating peace on the ground. Peacemakers in Action provides guidance to students of religion and future peacemakers.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
David Little is the Harvard Divinity School Professor of the Practice in Religion, Ethnicity, and International Conflict and Faculty Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. Before joining Harvard Divinity School, David was Senior Scholar in Religion, Ethics, and Human Rights at USIP, where he directed the Working Group on Religion, Ideology, and Peace. From 1996(?)1;98, he was on the State Department Advisory Committee on Religious Freedom Abroad. He co-authored Islamic Activism and U.S. Foreign Policy and wrote two volumes in the USIP series on religion, nationalism, and intolerance. The Tanenbaum Center was incorporated in 1992 to build on the work of the late Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, a world-renowned human rights activist and a pioneer in advancing interreligious reconciliation. In the course of his illustrious career, he was an active participant in Vatican Council II, organized interreligious coalitions to rescue Vietnamese boat people, feed Biafra and respond to social justice issues around the world. One of the Center's programs, Program in Religion and Conflict Resolution, demonstrates that religion can be part of the solution to hatred and armed conflicts around the world. The Peacemakers in Action initiative recognizes relatively unknown, religiously motivated men and women who are working on the ground to intervene in armed conflicts, often at great risk to their lives and freedom.
