To work for healing, restorative justice - whether in individual relationships, in international relations, or anywhere in between - is a primary Christian calling. It determines one whole sphere of Christian behavior. Violence and personal vengeance are ruled out, as the New Testament makes abundantly clear. Every Christian is called to work, at every level of life, for a world in which reconciliation and restoration are put into practice, and so anticipate that day when God will indeed put everything to rights. - N.T. Wright, Simply Christian
