Living as People of Peace

The USMB Board of Faith and Life has recently published a pamphlet:

Please download the pamphlet from the link above, read through it, and share your thoughts.

We believe that God in Christ reconciles people to Himself and to one another, making peace through the cross. The church is the fellowship of redeemed people living by love. The bond between followers of Jesus transcends all racial, social and national barriers.

We actively pursue peace and reconciliation in all relationships by following Christ’s example and His command to love God, neighbors and even enemies. We strive to be peacemakers and agents of reconciliation in families, churches, communities, in our nation, and throughout the world.

As peacemakers we alleviate suffering, reduce strife, promote justice, and work to end violence and war, that others may see a demonstration of Christ’s love. As in other Peace Churches, many of us choose alternative service rather than military participation. Because Jesus is Lord, His example and teaching take priority over nationalism and the demands of human authorities.
