The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship (PPF) has some excellent links with which the Presbyterian Church (USA); PC(USA), has been using to examine a proposal for PeaceChurch as the approach to peacemaking for the PC(USA). The theological perspectives paper which has been used to stimulate the series of multi-year reflections from 2012-2016 is available on the PPF website.

When the Trinity Emmanuel Presbyterian Church, Rochester, NY, used the PeaceChurch Discernment Process for its Spring 2013 Peacemaking Education Transformation Seminar, the participants were particularly moved by the materials provided for the consideration of Structural Violence.

Peacemaking Working Group, Presbytery of Genessee Valley

In response to the 2012 Convocation of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, Stony Point Conference Center, New York State, work developed in the Presbytery of Genessee Valley focused on building a peacemaking infrastructure for mutual support of congregations, groups, and individuals engaged in local and global peacemaking activities. One fruit of this effort was the initiating in early 2013 of a Peacemaking Working Group (PWG), convened by Presbyterian teaching elder, Rev. Dr. William Huston Wilkinson. The group is affiliated with the Presbytery of Genessee Valley through the Committee on Mission and Advocacy. The group will hold its first meeting of the Fall 2013, from 5:00PM-6:30PM on the first Tuesday in October, 2013, and bi-monthly, after that, at the Trinity Emmanuel Presbyterian Church, 9 Shelter Street, Rochester, New York, 14611. Participation is open to all peacemakers, Presbyterian and others. -Peace this day,

Building the Work of Making Peace

In every corner of this round/ovoid Planet Earth, people are building for peace. The hope of this blog is folks from all countries, territories and spaces are enabled to share stories, writing, thoughts, feelings, hopes, relationships, actions and responses concerned with giving peace a chance. As the Tom Chapin song offers, this space is open, "You are welcome here."
