Some Statements on
PEACE AND WAR
As Gleaned From the Annual Conference Minutes ol the Church of the Brethren, 1785 to 1944
1785 MINUTES
We cannot see or find any liberty to use any (car¬ nal) sword, but only the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
1840 MINUTES
Article 9. Whether it could be allowed for Breth¬ ren to go to train (or muster) in the militia.
Considered that the training or mustering Is a prep¬ aration for war, and since we are inclined to peace, it would be in no wise proper nor allowable for Brethren to learn war. Isa. 2: 4; Mic. 4: 3.
1865 MINUTES
Article 15. Can a brother be held as a member of the church who will, when put into the army, take up arms and aim to shed the blood of his fellow men? Answer: He cannot.
1918 MINUTES (Goshen Conference)
This Conference of the Church of the Brethren hereby declares her continued adherence to the prin¬ ciples of nonresistance, held by the church since its organization in 1708.
We believe that war or any participation in war is wrong and entirely incompatible with the spirit, ex¬ ample, and teachings of Jesus Christ.
That we cannot conscientiously engage in any activ¬ ity or perform any functions contributing to the de¬ struction of human life.
