Summary generated by ClustorBot!

The book “What War Did Not Take from Us” compiles lessons on peacebuilding, memory, and resistance in Caquetá, based on the experiences of churches and religious organizations before, during, and after the armed conflict in Colombia. Its purpose is to highlight the role of these entities in protecting life, mediating in the conflict, and promoting reconciliation.

The document is structured around different thematic axes:

•The role of women in churches: It emphasizes their leadership in social reconstruction.

•Experiences in education for peace: Accounts of programs that foster values, coexistence, and resilience.

•Historical memory and resistance: Testimonies from religious communities that faced violence and displacement.

•Reconciliation processes: Initiatives that strengthen trust between victims, conflict actors, and the State.

The publication highlights how churches have been spaces of refuge, hope, and healing, promoting strategies of nonviolent resistance and building social fabric in areas affected by war.
