Guiding Principles
Led by faith to peace
- Our witness will be grounded in worship and scripture
and be dependent on the movement of God's Holy Spirit as we work
together for the creation of the “beloved community.”
- We will intentionally and consistently link public witness,
worship and advocacy.
- We will boldly affirm the best of our Christian tradition while
we reach out to those of other faiths.
- All participants will commit to the principles of nonviolence in
our work together.
- We will be hopeful and respectful, accentuating the
transforming power of God's love while prophetically speaking truth to
power.
- We will be a movement of volunteers, a growing
community of sisters and brothers and partner organizations, expanding
the faith-based movement of peacemakers to end the U.S. wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan and to stand against violence in our communities.
