QUOTE : Avoiding conflict isn’t peacemaking. Avoiding conflict means running away from the mess while peacemaking means running into the middle of it. <br />Peacemaking means addressing those issues that caused conflict in the first place. <br /><br />Peacemaking can never be separated from doing justice. They go hand in hand. Peacemaking means having to stir the waters on the way to peace. <br /><br />Peacemaking means speaking the truth in love, but speaking the truth nonetheless.
