Integrating Suum-ngi Theology of Peace in Gindiri Theological Seminary Curriculum in Nigeria
Abstract
This article argues that Gindiri theological seminary in Nigeria has done little or
nothing to include issues of peace in theological education for the pastors in Church
of Christ in Nations (COCIN) of Nigeria. Consequently the Church of Christ in Nations
seems to have failed to engage adequately in promoting peace among their members
in the national search for peace and religious tolerance in Nigeria. The article
further argues that the theological seminary which produces pastors and lay church
leaders for pastoral ministry has a responsibility to equip pastors with necessary
tools for responding to peace challenges facing the country. Therefore, the article
advocates for the mainstreaming of Suum-ngi theology of peace in the curriculum of
Gindiri Theological Seminary.
