Peace at the Grassroots
Bishop Cornelius Korir
This booklet, rooted in creative initiatives to overcome ethnic violence in Kenya's Rift Valley, is a primer in effective approaches to building peace in divided communities anywhere. It outlines practical steps in bringing people together to negotiate, discuss root issues, craft local peace agreements or "social contracts," and carry out joint projects of interest to all parties, such as rebuilding a health center or constructing a rural road. It draws on the wisdom of Bishop Cornelius Korir of Burnt Forest, a CRS partner in peacemaking.
