Summary:This article uses a story of a Honduran immigrant to explore liberation theology and peace. Gloria's story is used because liberation theology makes sense of God in human experience.

Gloria's story puts God's gift of peace into practice by giving voice to the voiceless and demonstrates how peace is formed in justice.
