Peace building and Conflict prevention continues to be an integral part of PROCMURA. This is in line with SDG 16; Promoting just, peaceful and inclusive societies. PROCMURA believes that peace and development are inter-twined and that there can be no peace without development and, likewise, no development without peace.
PROCMURA continued with its quest for peace building and religious tolerance among Christian and Muslim youth in Juba, South Sudan also referred to as the youngest nation in Africa after gaining independence in 2011.
The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) has continued to pursue its mandate and mission on building the capacity for Churches and the church leadership to ensure they are better informed with requisite skills and knowledge in peace building, conflict resolution and management on emerging issues and challenges facing the communities. PROCMURA sees it necessary and important to intervene where possible in conflict-stricken situations and heed to the churches role in peacebuilding by strengthening the church in peacebuilding efforts at the grassroots level in its constituencies across Africa.
A celebration is an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. It also involves giving attention to particular issues or events. While celebrating may seem like the least logical thing to do in a conflict area, celebration gives people the power to finish any initiative strongly. Celebration of cultural and religious diversities is a core area in PROCMURA’s mechanisms for promoting freedom of religion for all. Just as Audre Lorde put it in his quote “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences”. Celebrating diversity remains an integral approach to promoting FORB for all.
