War
is the ultimate rejection of God’s creation
"We
know from experience and faith that violence cannot overcome
violence,
and that cycles of hatred can be interrupted by acts of creative
nonviolence, conflict resolution, and courageous love.
Let us all follow the healer’s rule: “First, do no harm.”
Let us use the preeminent power of the
United States
to change our direction and reject
violence, building up international institutions that promote
economic and political justice.
In this way, the lives of our children and grandchildren
– and their contemporaries the world over – can be liberated
from the terror and threat our present generation is
enduring."
