Those who serve in the armed forces should see themselves as servants of peace. Those who have conscientious objections to military service should serve the Community in some other capacity. One great cause of war that needs to be addressed is the imbalance in living standards between the developed and undeveloped nations. In the interest of peace, all, but especially the young should be educated for justice and peace. In its advance toward maturity the human family becomes more aware of its oneness and yet sees its unity and harmony endangered by wars and the threat of wars.
Peace depends upon the devotion of every individual to the cause of peace.
In loyalty to Christ, the Author of peace, Christians should cooperate with all in setting up agencies to work for peace based on justice and love. Peace is not simply absence of war, nor a balance of power, nor enforced conformity to a dictatorship. It is the result of that harmony built into human society by its divine Founder and actualized by those who strive to show justice to all. The influence of sin and the continually changing times make the cause of peace an ongoing concern for the interests of the common good. But to concern for the common good must be added concern for individuals.
