Description

Believing peacemaking to be an inherent a part of discipleship, Presbyterians have taken many valiant stands for peace all over our history. Then again, changing global realities, political and military actions, and new weapons of war have made the world less protected than ever. The church should reconsider how to be faithful peacemakers in this changing reality.

The Presbyterian Church recently spent six years reflecting on peacemaking. Building on past policy documents, people at all levels of the church studied and discussed what peacemaking policies had to be modified given the world context today. The 2016 PC(USA) General Assembly affirmed five affirmations the church should make to fulfill its peacemaking calling. Those affirmations transform risks when in reality taken, because their message collides with the demands for continued sacrifice by the powers that be. In this timely resource, writer Christian Iosso explains what the five risks are, how they differ from previous positions, and what taking every risk might look like today.

Ideal for individual or group study, this important resource includes questions for reflection and discussion.
