One of the Nobel Peace Prize winners is Leymah Gbowee, a Lutheran woman from Liberia. The Lutheran reported:
Gbowee, a peacemaker, activist and mother of five, led an interreligious group of thousands of women to defy warlords, government officials and male relatives to carry their country out of a long, bloody civil war to peace and democracy in 2003. She is a member of the Lutheran Church in Liberia. Her home congregation, St. Peter Lutheran in Monrovia, was the site of a July 30, 1990, massacre of 600 people.
Blessed are the peacemakers.
