Curriculum for Peace Church Discernment In the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)

This curriculum includes a collection of resources to engage in study and discernment around the challenges of violence, militarism, and war.  It can be customized based on the needs of your congregation or study group.  It opens with an overview that outlines the resources and suggested study plan. As you engage with these materials, we encourage our Peacemaking Congregations to consider the next step of Becoming a Peace Church, beginning with the adoption of the Peace Church definition by your session. Your session may also choose to write its own statement, guided by the Peace Church definition and materials in this curriculum. To add your congregation’s name to the list of Presbyterian Peace Churches, notify the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program at peacemaking@pcusa.org.
