Can religiously-inspired peacebuilding make a difference in Congo and East Africa? What makes faith-based peacebuilding unique from other attempts to resolve conflict and promote reconciliation? Are there lessons from Africa that can be applied elsewhere? These and other questions were addressed by John Katunga, Catholic Relief Services's regional technical advisor for peacebuilding and justice in East Africa.
