Peace and Justice
Peacemaking Program of the PCUSA
The Presbyterian Peacemaking Program was created in 1980 by action of the General Assembly of the former United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America adopted Peacemaking: The Believers’ Calling.
The work of the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program is guided by three affirmations outlined in Peacemaking: The Believers’ Calling:
- The church is faithful to Jesus Christ when it is engaged in peacemaking.
- The church is obedient to Jesus Christ when it nurtures and equips God’s people as peacemakers.
- The church bears witness to Christ when it nurtures the moral life of the nation for the sake of peace in the world.
