In 2016 the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approved a new peacemaking policy:

1. Peacemaking is essential to our faith.
2. We have sinned by participating in acts of violence.
3. We reclaim the power of nonviolent love.
4. We commit to the study and practice of nonviolence.
5. We will practice boldly the things that make for peace
