	Chapter One, Diocese of Vic by Paul Freedman
		Why the Peace and Truce should have spread in a realm that, unlike Provence or Languedoc, had a tradition of secular authority, is a question of more significance than that of precedence.
		The Truce must not be thought of, therefore, as a desperate measure designed to substitute spiritual for secular enforcement of order; rather, it assumed that the two powers should act in concert.
		Above all, the Truce and Peace preserved the distinction between public and private forms of coercion, underscoring difference between private warfare and the use of violence in the defense of the commonwealth.

		Thus, peace studies must seek practical means of creating a society without such structural violence, while the goal of peace education should be contributing to the establishment of such a society.
		Peace education, then, is directly tied to human rights education aimed at eliminating all forms of prejudice including that against the traditional outcast class in Japan.
