Die "Rückkehr der Religionen" in die politische Arena ist in aller Munde. Gleichzeitig wird nicht selten vom "Zusammenprall der Kulturen" gesprochen. Dies gilt insbesondere auch für die Rolle von Religionen in politischen Konflikten. Immer wieder geht es dabei um die Grundfrage zwischen dem Recht auf religiöse Freiheit und anderen Grund- bzw. Menschenrechten. Zahlreiche

Konflikte zeigen, wie Religionen einerseits zur Konfliktverschärfung beitragen und andererseits ihr friedenstiftendes Potential entfalten können.

Saidnaya, Syria

Peace is a divine gift. As Christians we confess Christ as the Alpha and Omega of our desire for a peaceful world. Peace is a gift and a blessing at the same time that enables and demands the creation of just living conditions at personal, interpersonal and social levels. Christian ethics orientate human life not only to the avoidance of sin but also to the overcoming of all those results of unbalanced or malicious human actions. Therefore, wishing peace to our neighbour challenges us at the same time to refuse violence and injustices in our daily life as much as in the global world. The confession “Christ is our peace” challenges Christians to work for a more peaceful world.
