Ethiopian leader promotes role of church in peace building
Eyob Yishak, who coordinates the peace office of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus and teaches at Mekane Yesus Theological Seminary in Addis Ababa, was one of several leaders who gathered to talk about the role of religious groups in peace building.
The Lutheran World Federation and the Zimbabwe Council of Churches hosted a consultation, Faith-Based Engagement in Conflict Transformation, in December in Zimbabwe.
“The consultation reminded me once again of the importance of comprehensive and proper narratives of conflict histories and the healing of past wounds,” Yishak said.
