Haitch, Russell; Miller, Donald
Religious Education, v101 n3 p390-401 Sum 2006
This article explores how storytelling can help create a space for transformational learning. In particular it looks at the role of storytelling in education for peace in Africa. It also touches on related issues, including the role of historic peace churches, the role of women, and the role of faith convictions, in the process of moving from violence to peace with justice. The case study for the essay is the "Watu Wa Amani" (People of Peace) conference held in Nairobi in 2004. (Contains 2 footnotes.)
