Just Peace Church

For over 30 years, the Just Peace Church pronouncement has inspired a grassroots movement of UCC congregations committed to corporately naming and boldly proclaiming a public identity as a justice-doing, peace-seeking church.

UCC Just Peace

What Is Just Peace?

The Just Peace pronouncement articulated the UCC’s position on war and peace as distinct from historic approaches of crusade, pacifism, or “just war.” Grounded in UCC polity and covenantal theology, Just Peace is a call for UCC churches to address systemic injustice using non-violence and Just Peace practices.

Together, we affirm with prophetic hope that “Peace is possible.”
