- "This is an account of Christians as peacemakers. .... the Christian peace movements which originated at the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s are an unprecedented response of the Christian commitment to peace." "For a better understanding of what is happening in our day, the story goes back to the appearance of the first Christian peace movements. It attempts to indicate characteristics of the traditional Christian peace movements which enabled them to converge with the newcomers. With the coming on the scene of the new Christian peace movements, the story traces their development, their ideals and also their frustrations. It discovers and analyzes the `love-hate' relationships which bind the new Christian peace movements to their churches. On both partners in the relationship, in many cases the influence of the World Council of Churches has been decisive. Equally important was the peace mission of the Conference of European Churches, which helped the Christian peace movements to become so influential. The story ends with a review of the Christian peace movement in Eastern Europe". -- Intro. p. [ix].
