Christopher Hale in the Washington Post: Peace in Syria Gets a Chance

Millennial writer and co-founder Christopher Hale has a new article in the Washington Post today. He argues:

“Throughout world history, there has been examples of religious prophets using creative, non-violent tactics to overcome injustice and evil.

Within the past century, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and John Paul II have shown us that good people can win a war without raising a hand.

Jesus Christ himself taught us how to overcome evil without violence. Jesus teaches again and again in the parables how to outsmart those who wish us and our society ill will.

And with the recent shift towards a diplomatic approach in Syria, I can’t help but wonder if the church’s global prayer and fasting hasn’t done something to shift history.”
