 "Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they
will be called the children of God."
Matthew
5.9

 "Choosing
Life means fighting the forces of death on all fronts - not only on the war
front, but also on the injustice front. The Christian Peace Conference is
not a political organization, but an ecumenical Christian organization with
a social commitment to peace with justice. Our faith is in our Lord Jesus
Christ who has overcome the powers of death and destruction...As Christians
we have a special task. Too many Christians today are uninterested in the
issues of war and peace. One reason is their understanding of the Christian
faith primarily in terms of personal salvation alone. We need a new
ecclesiology in the context of a new anthropology. I am not asking for a
"theology of peace," but a new and more faithful interpretation of
our understanding of God's purpose."
Dr. Paulos Mar Gregorios, Bishop of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church (1922-1996)
