El Compromiso con la Labor de Paz fue presentado en la Iglesia Presbiteriana (EE. UU.) en 1983. Desde entonces, más de 4,500 congregaciones y otros grupos han afirmado este compromiso y lo han utilizado para dar forma a ministerios fieles y creativos de paz y justicia.
1983년 미국 장로교는 '평화 증진에의 헌신'을 도입하였다. 그 이후로 4,500개 이상의 교회와 기관들이 이를 받아들여 사용하였고, 신실하고 창의적인 평화와 정의의 사역을 이루었다.
제 204차 총회(1992)는 총회 자체를 위해서 본 지침서를 채택했을 뿐 아니라, 미국장로교 교회나 산하기관에서도 갈등과 불일치가 일어날 때 사용하도록 했다. 이 지침은 서로 다름을 성장과 은혜와 이해의 기회로 바꾸는 방식을 단순명료하게 보여주고 있다. 이 지침을 사용한다고 해서 갈등 발생 자체를 막을 수는 없다. 하지만, 개방적이고 유용하며 건설적인 분위기를 형성하여, 사랑 안에서 차이점을 이야기하고 서로 다름을 이해하도록 노력하게 될 것이다.
La 204ª Asamblea General (1992) adoptó las normas para su propia vida y presentó este recurso a las congregaciones y otros grupos de la Iglesia Presbiteriana para ayudarles a manejar los conflictos y desacuerdos cuando ocurren. Las normas ofrecen sugerencias claras y simples para lidiar con las diferencias, transformándolas en oportunidades de crecimiento, gracia y comprensión. Aunque el uso de estas normas no puede evitar que se produzcan conflictos, generarán un clima abierto, útil y constructivo, donde las diferencias se pueden conversar con amor y escuchar con comprensión.
