Course Description

In a world overwhelmed by conflict, division, and noise, Christ offers a radically different path: peacemaking that begins within. What does it mean to become a peacemaker in our time? What does Scripture teach us about peace that goes deeper than ceasefires or conflict avoidance? In this course, you’ll explore what it means to make peace in light of the Gospel. Through biblical reflection and insights from the Church Fathers, Fr. Sergius Halvorsen will guide you through a Christian vision of peace rooted in thanksgiving, humility, and the cross.
