Promoting peace and social justice through ecumenical communication

Abstract

It probably goes without saying that, if people could achieve peace and/or social justice in the world, we would all applaud. Unfortunately, these two goals are often elusive and can be impossible to achieve at the same time. In a perfect world achieving social justice would in fact lead to peace. But justice in our world is too often in the eye of the beholder. Justice for one party can be an intolerable injustice to another. Not only is a decision by an impartial referee required, but also the means and will to enforce the decision lest it lead to increased conflict.
