Pentecost celebrates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit calling for God's shalom. Peace with Justice witnesses to God's demand for a faithful, just, disarmed, and secure world. In many annual conferences, this is the primary funding source for Conference Board of Church and Society programing ministries. There are over 3,600 Peace with Justice Network members. Educators have been placed in a number of annual conferences over the last 15 years.
Coordinators are active in almost every annual conference.
Peace with Justice ministries include legislative advocacy on landmines and nuclear weapons, providing conflict resolution training for children and youth at risk, advocating for job training programs, and promoting a hospitable atmosphere for immigrants and refugees. The Peace with Justice Special Sunday offering provides vital funding to the General Board of Church and Society to administer a growing, grass-roots network and programming for that network in peace and justice ministries. Local church and annual conference ministries are strengthened through these efforts and through Peace with Justice Program grants.
