Sacred Paths to Peace

Sacred Paths to Peace: How Religious Imagination Shapes Transitional Justice Today

This event explores the intersection of transitional justice and the religious imagination in addressing contemporary international challenges. By examining how faith-based narratives influence reconciliation, justice, and societal healing, it unveils ongoing challenges in transitional justice, and current transformative contributions of religious imaginaries as tools for bridging divides, fostering dialogue, and reimagining pathways to enduring peace. Three experiences will be revisited as cases-examples to be charted out: (1) peacebuilding work with communities of faith in Colombia, (2) academic and political approaches in the US to religion and peace, and (3) international contributions to transitional justice via inter-faith platforms in the UK.
