Below, find printed the Peace Church Registry invitation. Have you looked
at this on the website and asked yourself if you have good reasons to add your
name or not add it to this registry of Christian peace people? Please sign on!
____ <http://www.ecapc.org/RegistryForm.asp> ___

The churches, groups and individuals which are listed on the registry below
hereby give public expression to their intention to be on the journey of
peacemaking and, in a general way, to support the movement to make every church
a peace church.

They have committed to some form of study and action process around the
following affirmations, knowing that Jesus call to be peacemakers includes many
things, but believing that in the United States today these affirmations
represent a meaningful starting point in a journey which will find many forms
of expression:

1. We, the churches, groups and individuals listed on the registry below hereby
give public expression to our intention to walk the journey of nonviolent
peacemaking and in our own way to support the movement to make every church a
peace church.

2. We have committed to a process of prayer, study, and action, focused on Jesus
call to love all, even our enemies, and a vision that the church could turn the
world toward peace if every church lived and taught as Jesus lived and taught.
