Peacemaking is not standing in the uncontroversial middle trying to placate everyone. Peacemaking is not calling for unity while refusing to deal with marginalization in our communities. That’s peacekeeping.
Peacemaking is standing for truth, justice, and equity for all people, no matter the cost. For us as Christians, the choice between peacekeeping and peacemaking is clear:
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Jesus (Matthew 5:9)
