How do we think theologically about the work of conflict transformation? This article by former Director of the London Mennonite Centre, Mark Thiessen Nation, explores this issue by reference to the thought of Mennonite theologian John Howard Yoder. Nation first explores the need to develop a theology for, rather than a theology of, conflict transformation. He then looks at the centrality of Jesus, the place of the Church and Christian community, clarity about the nature of sin, and the question of effectiveness and God’s sovereignty.
