Christian leaders from Reformed, Anglican, Methodist, and Lutheran communions sound alarm over humanity’s suffering in endless wars.
They frame true peace as justice and flourishing under God, not coercion or arms races.
“As old wars rage on unabated, new ones arise. The world is approaching a dangerous tipping point – a time when violence becomes the norm and death and suffering of people and communities condoned.”
“The peace the world longs for is not only the absence of wars, nor one which is enforced by coercion and dominance. Peace is the presence of justice, dignity, and flourishing for all God’s children.”
In Lent’s reflection, faith offers courage against destruction, promising Easter renewal through Christ.
Stand with these leaders in prayer and action to defend family, freedom, and divine moral order against hatred’s tide.
