Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/about\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">core values<\/a>&nbsp;express Justice as &#8220;Living out God&#8217;s radical love by confronting powers that deny the fullness of life and the integrity of creation,&#8221; and Peace as &#8220;Embodying reconciling relationships with God, humanity and creation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term <em>Just Peace<\/em> has come to identify the concept that true peace is more than simply the absence of conflict. To seek a just peace means we must also seek wholeness and reconciliation, as conveyed in the biblical concept of shalom. Whether called salaam, shanti or paz, a just peace means we must address issues of human security as well as global security, of powerlessness, marginalization, and desperate want as much as national interest or private wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As early as 1985, a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucc.org\/justice_just-peace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UCC Just Peace Church Pronouncement<\/a>&nbsp;called us \u201cto explore and develop new models of peace and justice ministries globally to address particular situations of injustice, oppression, and real or potential violence, and to develop communication links between Christians in these critical situations and Christians in the United States, developing global partnership and global awareness in the search for a Just Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Disciples Christian Unity and Interfaith Ministry is engaging in a process of theological exploration of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disciplescuim.org\/publications\/becoming-a-just-peace-making-church\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Becoming a Just Peace-Making Church<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a 2010 resolution, the National Council of Churches Governing Board wrote, \u201cWhile the just war position only defines criteria under which the use of force is acceptable, a just peace perspective describes foundations for nonviolent conflict and the building of justice, reconciliation, and abundant life. The engagement of \u201cjust peace\u201d is not merely a reaction to conflict. \u201cJust peace\u201d is proactive, requiring governments and other authorities to address in advance those conditions that may lead to future violence: poverty, hunger, economic injustice, climate change and many more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Be a peacebuilder.
