THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTIVE LISTENING IN PEACE-BUILDING Active listening is crucial in peace-building, as it fosters understanding and respect. Proverbs 18:13 advises, "To answer before listening—that is folly and shame." Active listening involves paying full attention, reflecting on what is being said, and responding thoughtfully. It shows that we value the speaker's input and are committed to understanding their point of view. This practice builds empathy and reduces misunderstandings, laying the groundwork for effective conflict resolution and collaboration. Through active listening, we create a community culture where every voice is heard, and mutual respect thrives.
