Religious Peacebuilding in the Democratic Republic of Congo

By Roger B Alfani and Alfani

Religious Peacebuilding in the Democratic Republic of Congo analyzes the contributions of three churches at both the leadership and the grassroots levels to conflict transformation in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. While states have long been considered main actors in addressing domestic conflicts, this book demonstrates that religious actors can play a significant role in peacebuilding efforts. In addition, rather than focusing exclusively on top-down approaches to conflict resolution, Religious Peacebuilding in the Democratic Republic of Congo incorporates viewpoints from both leaders of the Catholic, 3 me Communaut Baptiste au Centre de l'Afrique and Arche de l'Alliance in Goma and grassroots members of these three churches.
