We kindly invite you to our European Conference ‘Healing Conflicts’ from 24 to 26 April 2026 in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom!

We are organising this conference together with Fellowship of Reconciliation UK, Anglican Pacifist Fellowship, Pax Christi UK and Christian International Peace Service (CHIPS).

How can people and communities truly heal after conflict? This conference invites speakers and participants to explore this important question together. Over a weekend full of learning opportunities, reflection and encounters, we will explore how genuine healing can pave the way for communities to flourish in peace, justice and hope.

The programme includes keynote speeches, panel discussions, practical workshops and creative sessions, as well as a dedicated space to meet others who are also committed to peace work. Together, we will draw on experience, wisdom and imagination to explore paths to healing and new ways of living together. read more

Peace work remains visible when we make it visible

Call for donations for our website relaunch 

Are you also tired of being inundated with news about wars every day? Peace work, especially Christian peace work, is often pushed to the margins or remains invisible.

This is where Church and Peace, as a European peace church network, comes in: We provide a platform to recognize and strengthen each other in this work. We want to make this space for encounters more professional and expand it in the digital realm. That s why we plan to revise our website and database in the coming year, making them more inviting, concrete, and user-friendly. Please help us with your donation! Thank you very much!

This year’s European Conference in Herrnhut in Germany from 24-26 October 2025 was held under the title ‘Do not let your heart grow hard in these difficult times…’ Resist, reconcile, transform.

The key verse was ‘…and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.’ (Ezekiel 36:26)
