Croatia
Peace-building among nations is the first priority in war-torn Croatia. The most important challenges are close cooperation with the Osijek Peace Center, the development of a peace studies program and other peace-building projects. Because religion has been a source of controversy and enmity, theological education needs to offer interfaith learning that transcends cultures and denominations.
War affects the physical and mental health of everyone, but of children in particular. Dealing with the generation-spanning aftermath of violence is a challenge for our mission partners that needs our support. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) supports Christian witness and service, and the peace process, in Croatia through partner churches and organizations, and through our mission personnel, who work closely with them. |
