THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGION AND

GLOBAL CONFLICT; RELIGION AND GLOBAL PEACE

Dr. FE R. BARONIA
Associate Professor V
 Reflections on the United States Institute of Peace’s Religion
and Peacemaking Program with Local Partners in the
Promotion of Religious Peacemaking
1) No major religion has been exempted from complicity in violent
conflict;
2) With so much emphasis on religion as a source of conflict, the role
of religion as a force in peacemaking is usually overlooked;
3) Religious affiliation and conviction often motivates religious
communities to advocate peace-related government policies;

 4) Religious leaders and institutions can mediate in conflict situations,
serve as a communication link between opposing sides, and
provide training in peacemaking methodologies.
5) Interfaith dialogue is another form of religious peacemaking;
6) Given religion’s importance as both a source of international
conflict and a source for peacemaking.
