Abstract:
This research paper aims to investigate the significant role played by the church in promoting peace and harmony within society, with a specific focus on the case study of Izzi Local Government Area. The study recognizes that the church, as a prominent social institution, has historically served as a catalyst for positive change and has actively contributed to the maintenance of peace and harmony in various communities.
The research will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Qualitative data will be gathered through interviews and observations, while quantitative data will be collected through surveys and questionnaires. The sample population will consist of church leaders, members, and residents of Izzi Local Government Area.
The investigation will delve into several key aspects of the church's role in ensuring peace and harmony. It will explore the church's teachings and values concerning peace, forgiveness, reconciliation, and social justice, and examine how these teachings are disseminated to the congregation and the wider community. The study will also investigate the church's involvement in conflict resolution, mediation, and community development initiatives.
Furthermore, the research will explore the church's collaborative efforts with other stakeholders, such as government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community leaders, to promote peace and harmony. It will analyze the effectiveness of these partnerships and identify any challenges faced in achieving their objectives.
The findings of this study are expected to highlight the various strategies and mechanisms employed by the church in Izzi Local Government Area to foster peace and harmony. The research will contribute to existing literature on the role of the church in societal development and provide insights for policymakers, religious leaders, and community members on the potential of the church as a catalyst for positive social change.
The study's limitations include the potential for bias in self-reported data, the geographical and cultural specificity of the case study, and the inability to generalize findings to other contexts. However, the research will strive to ensure data validity and reliability through rigorous methodology and triangulation of data sources.
