Statement of Peace

    We believe all people are the children of God, each with a divine spark of God all individuals, and to strike out against another human being or to aid in the destruction of such persons is directly against our declaration of principals. Therefore, we are opposed to all wars and violence. We work to alleviate suffering, to work for reconciliation and to promote justice.
