Adventist Peacemaker Pledge

[SivartM]

This is just going to degenerate into an argument about naive I am, but at least nobody can complain because it's not Adventist.

Quote:

Joining fellow believers worldwide in covenanting to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ, I hereby pledge:

To decline all participation in acts of war and bloodshed as being inconsistent with the love for enemies and all humankind enjoined upon us by our Lord Jesus Christ;

To be a peacemaker, following the way of the Prince of Peace through the power of the Holy Spirit.

At my age, all I can do is take the Pacemaker Pledge. But I am opposed to violence of all kinds except for those pretty African Violence flowers my mother grows.

That's why it includes this:

Of course, I didn't write this. :)

I discovered this group a while back and I'm on their regular email update list.

It gives me hope on those days when I read the threads on the forum and think I'm the only Adventist who doesn't support war and guns and killing.
