"Peacemaking is the believer's calling." and "Blessed are the peacemakers." You have no doubt heard these phrases mentioned numerous times. Peacemaking is a crucial part of our Christian faith. The shalom of God as articulated in the Old Testament and as personified in Jesus Christ is crucial and indispensable in the tumultuous and uncertain times in which we live.

Our network takes seriously its commitment to peacemaking.  Peacemaking encompasses many activities in the life of the church and is abroad enough concept to include all Presbyterians.  Consider joining our network by completing the application today.
