Overview

Discuss what peace and peacemaking mean to Christians in this informative lesson. Supported by Biblical teachings, students can reflect upon the active approach to peacemaking within Christianity, and hear a priest answer a past GCSE exam question on whether peace is an impossible dream. This is accompanied by more detailed teachers’ notes, designed to fill any gaps in understanding.
