ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to provide some of the most conclusions of peace and conflict research both within and outside the Christian churches and Christian peace movement’s. The churches world-wide are challenged to demonstrate that Christianity is unequivocally a message of peace. To find one Christian voice on this issue is the missionary task of the church. The church is metaphysical-spiritual; grass-rooted-popular; national-institutional; and ecumenical-international at the same time. The member churches of the World Council of Churches expressed their solidarity with the peoples of the South Pacific who want to keep the testing of nuclear warheads and nuclear armed and powered navies out of this area. There are indeed various types of church and state relationships, and they may differ from place to place, but the sociological fact remains. The resolution of conflicts means a new set of relationships emerging from the process and arrived at freely by the parties themselves.
