Title:
Presbyterian Peace Fellowship.
Description:
Web site of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, a wide network of peacemakers who engage issues of both national and international import. The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship started in the 1940s as a group that provided support to Conscientious Objectors to World War II, a war in which objection was quite unpopular. Since then, they have continued to be a prophetic voice in our church, urging the abolition of war and encouraging our sisters and brothers to enact peace in the midst of our broken world. They have helped lead the PC(USA) to take bold stances in the face of violence.
