Seeking Peace is Africa" is a direct reply to the World Council of Churches' Decade to Overcome Violence. The WCC appealed to the Historic Peace Churches to share their responses to the enormous reach of terror and violation of human life in this generation. The stories in this volume are the hopeful responses of Africans who have lived through horrific violence. Some are unbearable tales of despair at the loss of millions of lives due to warfare, riots, terror, starvation, AIDS and disease. Others are remarkable descriptions of courageous peacemaking in the midst of nearly impossible circumstances.

Part I: Marketplaces Where Africans Think & Talk About the Common Good ; Part II: Heritage of Peacemaking; Part III: The Stories of Violence in its Many Forms; Part IV: Stories of Christian Peacemaking; Part V: Stories f Peacemaking in the Public Square; Part VI: The Courage to Hope.
