How to Build Peace
20th- and 21st-Century Ukrainian Greek Catholic Peacebuilders on the Polish-Ukrainian Conflict
by Stefania Knecht-Turkanik
Despite peacemaking efforts between Ukraine and Poland, the conflict between the two nations, which reached its violent climax in the 20th century, remains unresolved. This book argues that representatives of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church are uniquely positioned to act as peacemakers in the Polish-Ukrainian conflict.
Trotz friedensstiftenden Bemuhungen zwischen der Ukraine und Polen ist der Konflikt zwischen den beiden Nationen, der im 20. Jahrhundert seinen gewaltsamen Hohepunkt erreichte, ungelost. Mit Blick auf Andrei Sheptyts’kyi, ukrainischer griechisch-katholischer Metropolit zwischen 1901 und 1944, sowie Erkenntnissen aus der qualitativen Forschung mit zeitgenossischen Vertretern derselben Kirche wird argumentiert, dass Sheptyts’kyi als Friedensstifter betrachtet werden muss und dass Vertreter:innen der ukrainischen griechisch-katholischen Kirche, seinem Beispiel folgend, einzigartig positioniert sind, um im polnisch-ukrainischen Konflikt friedensstiftend zu wirken.
