Peace education

The church in the U.S. continues to face challenges over how to respond faithfully to the biblical call to “seek peace and pursue it” (Psalm 34:14). MCC U.S. peace education work nurtures a commitment to Christ’s way of peace among youth and adults, promotes critical self-reflection on how our faith leads us to build peace rather than join our nation’s pursuit of war, and builds capacity for the biblical commitment to peace and non-violence at individual and systemic levels.
