Like many other groups, the Church of the Brethren—both men and women—has always stood for peace.  We don’t bear arms.  Instead, we bear food, medicines, farm tools, books.  We dig wells, run clinics, teach classes.  When war left children starving in Spain, we sent heifers to their families.

But projects are the easy part.  There’s another way to work for peace: person to person, day by day.  So we listen—and reconsider.  We give the benefit of the doubt.  We try to do as Jesus did.  Jesus spent three years showing another way of living.  And we’ve spent almost three centuries following it.

The Church of the Brethren welcomes you to another way of living.
