Patriarch Bartholomew has said: Unless our actions are founded on love, rather than on fear, they will never be able to overcome fanaticism or fundamentalism. … Only those who know—deep inside the heart—that they are loved can be true peacemakers. Our peacemaking ultimately stems from and relates to love for all of God’s creation, both human and environmental. In this form, peacemaking is a radical response to policies of violence and the politics of power.5
