AB - It is questionable whether religion is related to violence and the target or attacker are motivated by religious doctrines and texts. Religion is thought to be against violence and for peace and reconciliation. The 9/11 terrorist attacks and recent Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris, however, have captured world wide attention and religion is suspected of the accomplice to the violence.
In this regard, Christian non-violence pacifism is not only incompatible with violence, but also important in the theological and ethical dialogue to alleviate the suffering of those who face political and economical crises. And we are also called to equip ourselves with high moral standard in the world of violence.
In the discussion of the comparison between the characteristics of Christian non-violence and the current violent issues, the principles and doctrines advocated by Quaker, Mennonite, Howard Yoder, Stanley Hauerwas and Walter Wink are engaged to explore the meaning of peace and the role of Christian community.
After reviewing all the factors of the above thoughts briefly, this paper comes to a conclusion that Christianity need to make diligent efforts to bridge the gap between the violent world and Christian pacifistic principles in the public realm.
To achieve this goal, Christian communities are encouraged to promote the public talks and revise the standard of the modern life, and reestablish moral standard in accordance with Christian pacifistic spirit.
