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.
