What is the Initiative for Peacemaking?
Peacemakers Needed
The Initiative on Peacemaking seeks to coordinate and encourage BYU mission-inspired scholarship and academic research on peace. We build on existing work from Department of Political Science and else where on campus to bring together faculty inside and outside the university. We aim to share the vital work being done on Peacemaking with the Church and the public at large.
“True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers. Contention is a choice. Peacemaking is a choice... I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always.”
—President Russell M. Nelson, Peacemakers Needed
