Interfaith Women’s Peacemaking in Indonesia
Summary
This short article documents the role Muslim, Protestant, and Catholic women played in peacemaking during the conflict in eastern Indonesia in the early 2000’s. Coming together in interfaith groups, Indonesian women played a critical role in facilitating meetings between Christian and Muslim fighters during the conflict, providing for community needs, and sustaining the peace agreement through dialogue efforts once it was established.
