peacemakers
Those bridging disputes
Peacemakers are people who work to end conflicts or establish harmony between opposing parties.
The term ranges from diplomats negotiating treaties to anyone who calms a dispute: She was the peacemaker in her family, always smoothing over arguments.
The biblical beatitude "Blessed are the peacemakers" gives the word a moral weight beyond mere conflict resolution.
