Peace
Promoting peace
MCC believes God calls us to a life of peace and non-violence.
We actively promote the pursuit of peace as we:
- Teach conflict transformation skills and peacebuilding strategies
- Encourage people to courageously choose peace over violence
- Address systemic injustices that can lead to violence
- Facilitate relationship-building across cultural, religious, racial and ethnic divides
- Build resilience and respond to psychological needs through trauma healing
- Provide churches with educational and advocacy resources about peace
Building peace around the globe
MCC partners are working with communities around the globe to develop the skills they need to work for peace and understanding, to speak out against injustices and to build resilience through trauma healing.
