I am very happy to find this blog available to talk about peace. I believe there is a lot of people who will share their experiences.
My interest on peace has to do with my own personal life; growing up in a war torn country. But I am also interested in something I call “Christian poltical will”. Peace is a myriad of many things. I am concerned that christians work for peace but don’t engage enough in political activism to change things. Sometimes institutions are afraid to speak out because of what their constituencies might think, or because their constituencies don’t agree on the way peace is sought. We must confront the powers that be so things change.

Thanks for your thoughts, Raul. I think you are right when you say that fear is a big part of the reason why people do not engage the political process. Are apathy or inertia also part of it? Perhaps becuase so many of us have grown up in contexts of privilege and not in contexts of war, like you have, we simply don’t care as much as we should. I appreciate your challenge that we should confront the powers.
