Enduring Principle #7: Pursuit of Peace (Shalom)
God wants shalom (justice, reconciliation, well-being, wholeness, and peace) for all of creation.
Jesus Christ, the embodiment of God’s shalom (peace), reveals the meaning of God’s peace in all aspects of life.
The vision of Zion is to promote God’s reign on earth, as proclaimed by Jesus Christ, through the leavening influence of just and peaceful communities.
We courageously and generously share the peace of Jesus Christ with others.
Led by the Holy Spirit, we work with God and others to restore peace (shalom) to creation.
We celebrate God’s peace wherever it appears or is being pursued by people of good will.
As you prepare to vote in November, please carefully consider the candidates and issues, and vote for those which foster or point us toward a more peaceful world.
