Statement on the Deployment of the National Guard to Memphis, Tennessee
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ commended peacemakers as children of God. We strive for justice and peace among all people as disciples of Christ. The biblical understanding of peace represents more than the absence of conflict. It entails a sense of well-being which is derived from being in right relationship with God and with our neighbors. This biblical notion of shalom is what we desire for Memphis.
