Drawing on long-running ethnographic fieldwork in Uganda's largest religious communities, it maps the tensions and ironies found in the Catholic and Anglican Churches in the wake of war between the Lord's Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda. It shows how churches' responses to the war were enabled by their embeddedness in local communities. Yet churches' embeddedness in structures of historical violence made their attempts to nurture peace liable to compound conflict.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Henni Alava</note> <subject> <topic>Christianity -- Uganda</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christianity and politics</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>War -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">261.7</classification> <classification authority="ddc">A324-H52</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781350175808</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15052/81gsbqjtanl-sy466.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15052/81gsbqjtanl-sy466.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071432.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
