Resolution on Violence, Religion, and Terrorism - Study Guide (2004)

This report focuses on the role that religion plays in relationship to violence, most specifically the form of violence used to attack important centers and symbols of American power on September 11, 2001. It also examines actions that have been, or can be, mounted to counter such violence and the role religion plays in supporting or challenging those counter terrorist actions.

Our church comes together every two years to discern together how best to live as faithful Christians in the world.  We consider resolutions and mandate studies of various issues, which are then passed along to our churches for study and implementation.  One such issue was terrorism, which resulted in this resolution, approved by the 216th General Assembly (2004) This resource includes both the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) resolution on terrorism and six lesson plans for its study.
