Manifestations en relation avec le Rassemblement oecuménique international pour la paix (ROIP)

18. oct 10 - 22. oct 10 Orthodox Contribution to a Theology of Just Peace. Developing the principles of a Just Peace

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.
