Peace Churches

Peace Churches are Christian denominations that emphasize nonviolence, pacifism, and reconciliation. They believe in following Jesus' teachings of love and forgiveness, rejecting war and violence as methods for resolving conflict. Key examples include the Mennonites, Quakers, and Brethren. These communities often engage in social justice work, promoting peace and addressing issues such as poverty and discrimination. Through their faith, Peace Churches advocate for an ethic of peace, encouraging dialogue and understanding rather than hostility, both in personal relationships and in broader societal issues.
