Searching for Truth in the Midst of Conflict
Often, people think of truth as coming after a conflict, as in a truth and reconciliation commission. But can truth help lessen an ongoing conflict by keeping or bringing together neighborhoods and communities? What does it mean to seek truth during conflict?
