Blessed Are The Peacemakers

Peace is defined as a state of tranquility or quiet (freedom from civil disturbance or a state of security/order within a community provided for by law or custom); freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions; harmony in personal relations; a state/period of mutual concord or an agreement to end active hostilities; and a greeting or farewell, as a means of asking for calm, and a state of being, of concord. Peace is more than the absence of conflict – it is an active state, to be created and nurtured by individuals, communities, and countries through alternatives to conflict and violence.
