A Declaration on Peace: In God's People the World's Renewal Has Begun: A Contribution to Ecumenical Dialogue

A Declaration on Peace: In God's People the World's Renewal Has Begun: A Contribution to Ecumenical Dialogue

George Hunsinger
3.7/5 ( ratings)
Many Christians have become increasingly sensitive to the destructiveness of war. They are recognizing war's limited ability as a public policy instrument. They are acknowleding the social, economic, and spiritual consequences of preparing to wage war. These concerns have begun to revive the conscience of the church in new ways.

This text contends that peacemaking is essential to Christian discipleship. It is the vocation of the church as a whole. Moving beyond the traditional debate around "pacifism," This statement seeks dialogue concerning a renewed vision of the entire purpose of God in the world.

In A Declaration on Peace, Brethren, Friends, Mennonites, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation seek conversation with Christians everywhere on peace, war, militarism, and justice. The book offers an ecumenical dialogue on the morality of war grounded in a biblical vision common to all Christian communions.
