Summary/Abstract: This study examines the concept of “Christ’s Peace” as a unifying force amidst the diversity of Christian denominations and the prevalent social tensions. It explores the theological underpinnings and practical implementations of ecumenism, emphasizing the necessity for unity in the Christian faith to address contemporary social challenges. The research highlights how theological perspectives and ecumenical practices can bridge doctrinal divides and foster a collective response to social issues, thereby embodying the peace and unity proclaimed by Lord Christ. The Christian world is characterized by a rich diversity of denominations, each with its unique doctrinal positions and liturgical practices. This diversity, while reflecting the multifaceted nature of Christian faith, often leads to tensions both within the Christian community and in broader societal contexts. In light of these challenges, this study investigates the potential of “Christ’s Peace” to serve as a foundational principle for unity among Christians.
