It is easy to assume that all politics and peacemaking can be mutually exclusive. The truth is that there are many situations that, in order to keep the peace, be involved in politics, or even in the way. If there is a dispute rare interests, regardless of whether they take control, power or leadership to the policy. God teaches us how "should be" if we are His children. As human beings created by God, they are asked to take photos of the Father. With our peace with ourselves and others.
There are many organizations, there are internal conflicts and even key leaders start to make their case and use politics, we hope to be up to the peace or put an end to what they believe disturbs the peace of mind. Vice-flexing threaten other departments need to control these units are not as they say. When you talk about politics, discuss the policies and procedures which raised controversy. These same policies dictate the path towards peacemaking as a social whole.

"In August 1997, less than a month after the second cease-fire took hold in Northern Ireland, thousands of Protestant pastors and lay leaders gathered in Belfast to one of the historic public commitment peacemaking Protestants and Roman Catholics.
Michael Cassidy, the South African evangelical influential producing open elections and an end to apartheid in South Africa, He challenged them to a new level of personal responsibility in bringing about reconciliation and tolerance. nearly two-thirds of his invitation in 3000 in the audience stood up to indicate the pledge to peacemaking. At the beginning of this year, the Anglican Church of Ireland took similar steps, when the general Synod voted to condemn the presence of sectarian views within the denomination and to conduct an inquiry to determine how serious the problem "(Morgan, 1997).
Without a policy that was not taken further steps to really determine what the problem is and rededicate themselves towards peace. But there are other examples where politics and peacemaking are not mutually exclusive. Take for example the military. Leaders war with other countries that have different political views than ours. We are sent to war by force. And only the winner can then determine what we believe to be peace. Who war we fight? The definition of which we achieve peace? Ours, the people of other nations?
