Although written for the Decade to Overcome Violence: Churches Seeking Reconciliation and Peace 2001 – 2010 (DOV), it remains very applicable as a study resource.
"How do you break the cycle of violence?" The same way you break the cycle of ignorance: education. The World Council of Churches has identified four major themes as the root causes of violence: the spirit and logic of violence; the use, abuse and misuse of power; issues of justice; religious identity and plurality. This is the lens through which churches can become more aware of the challenges ahead in overcoming violence and to assist them to find sustainable solutions.
