PAX CHRISTI
USA
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
PAX CHRISTI USA strives to create a world that reflects the Peace
of Christ by exploring, articulating, and
witnessing to the call of Christian nonviolence. This work
begins in personal life and extends to communities of
reflection and action to transform structures of society.
PAX CHRISTI
rejects war, preparations for war, and every form of violence
and domination. It advocates primacy of conscience, economic
and social justice, and respect for creation.
PAX CHRISTI USA
commits itself to peace education and, with the help of its
bishop members, promotes the gospel imperative of peacemaking
as a priority in the Catholic Church in the
United States. Through the efforts of all its members and in cooperation
with other groups, Pax Christi
USA
works toward a more peaceful, just, and sustainable
world.
Pax Christi USA is
a section of Pax Christi International, the Catholic peace
movement.
