participation of all the people of God in all aspects of church life. It encourages our churches and church-related groups to include peacemaking in
worship, participate in community justice ministries, study and respond to
global justice issues, and promote the understanding and need for protection and
restoration of our environment and support the PC(USA) offering and commitment to
peacemaking.The current Peacemakers Team consists of: Anthony

The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship is a national community of
Presbyterians who trust in the nonviolent Jesus Christ. Their purposes are:
1. To be agents of change in the world according to the words of Christ
Jesus: "Blessed are the peacemakers."
2. To be a witness within the Presbyterian Church USA to the vocation of
active, nonviolent peacemaking, which we believe is the true calling of
Christ's church.
3. To join with other nonviolent groups in taking concrete actions to
further the cause of peace in particular trouble-spots.
