Sister Agatha Chikelue exudes both determination and warmth. Quick to smile, she minces no words when it comes to her mission, which turns around women, justice, and peace. Sister Agatha described the core activities: they include interfaith dialogue, outreach to women, and working with youth, mainly through sports. Sister Agatha sees the violent extremism, exemplified in Boko Haram but also other groups, as a result of a silent extremism that does not carry guns. Cardinal Onaiyekan has argued that religious extremism is encouraged when people demonize other religions and “canonize their own”.
