Faith in Flux
Résumé
Ethno-religious conflicts in Northern Nigeria continue to pose serious threats to peaceful coexistence among its multi-religious and ethnically diverse communities. These tensions are intensified by the ambivalent role of religion, functioning both as a driver of division and a resource for reconciliation. This article examines how the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC) has responded to such conflicts in recent decades through an exploration of the theological, institutional, and practical dimensions of its conflict transformation efforts. Methodologically, this contribution adopts a historical-theological and interdisciplinary approach drawing on secondary sources to analyse the NBC’s evolving strategies aimed at conflict transformation. By foregrounding an African ecclesial response to ethno-religious crisis, this article contributes to broader discourses on the role of religion in peacebuilding in pluralistic contexts.
