The U.S. Institute of Peace cordially invites you to book launch and panel discussion on Pursuing Just Peace, a new publication from Catholic Relief Services.

Pursuing Just Peace: An Overview and Case Studies for Faith-Based Peacebuilders (Mark M. Rogers, Tom Bamat, and Julie Ideh, eds., Baltimore: CRS, 2008) is a practical resource for a wide community of peacebuilding practitioners and those grappling with injustice and conflict. Seven case studies describe concrete initiatives within highly diverse contexts and with a variety of organizations, approaches and entry points in peacebuilding. An introductory essay by David Steele provides a general overview and literature review for faith-based peacebuilding, discusses processes, and describes key roles that faith-based actors can play.

For more information or to have a copy of the book mailed to you, contact: Catholic Relief Services, Tracey Hawkins at 410-951-7266 or pb@crs.org
