ABSTRACT

Is peace politically feasible? To the question 'Is Christian peace politically feasible?' one naturally responds with 'Where?', so raising a point of quantification. The Christian's community is, at one level, as large as there are people. Perhaps proportionately few of those people will share a Christian's values and aims. This generates a tension between what can be achieved and what one would like to achieve. An added subsidiary restriction is that the current conflict of laws and values between national groups precludes the contemporary implementation of ethical hopes for unity at the international level.
