The true spirit of Christian pacifism is to press into difficult situations, not away from them. This relates to concrete situations of danger as well as wrestling with big questions about scripture and ethics.

One of the most challenging pieces of scripture for Christian pacifists is Luke 22:35–38:

Welcome to Pursuing Peace! We have much to discuss.

Pursuing Peace was born out of the conviction that followers of Jesus are called to be peacemakers, to lay down our arms, and to love our enemies. We are called to push back against the darkness in the world not by matching the world blow for blow, but by the ways and means that rhyme with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
