Pursuing peace

Peace and justice are at the heart of MCC's work. People around the world are building peace, often at great risk to their own lives. Christians are called to model Jesus' example of courageous peacemaking, and MCC workers and projects support people making peace across the globe.

 

MCC Canada's Peace Ministries programs encourage reflection, action and witness for peace and justice in church and society.

Peace Buttons

 

Twenty years of remembering and working for peace.

This year, the MCC peace button will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Each November, scores of peace buttons appear – on shirts, backpacks and purses. Wear this peace button instead of, or in addition to, a poppy. Wear it at Remembrance Day or year-round. Share a message of peace.

 

 

 

MCC buttons are 4.3 centimeters (1 3/4 inches) in diameter and in three colours (red, yellow and white). They are priced at: 

1-24 pins $1.00 each
25-99 pins $.75 each
100+ pins $.50 each

 

Buttons are available in English and French.

To order these buttons, contact your nearest MCC Provincial Office.

Shipping charges may apply.

Peace Sunday

 

Peace Sunday is an annual opportunity to preach, teach, reflect and act upon the gospel of peace proclaimed and embodied by Jesus Christ. At a time of year when our nation honours military service, Peace Sunday reminds us of Jesus' call to love our enemies, to resist evil nonviolently, and to live as people of peace.MCC Canada encourages Canadian Anabaptist congregations to observe Peace Sunday in early November, just prior to Remembrance Day.

The Peace Sunday Packet is intended to help your congregation plan a Peace Sunday worship service, and to engage in reflection and witness beyond the worship service.

This year we encourage you to plan a public prayer walk as a way of sharing the message of peace with the broader community. The following resource will help you plan such a prayer walk. It has been prepared by MCC Ontario.

Victims' Voice

 

Victims' Voice seeks to address the revictimization of victims in the criminal justice system, to create understanding about victims among practitioners who work within the system and to give emotional and informational support directly to victims through victim-centered programs.

Victims' Voice does this by offering training programs about understanding victims of crime and by participating in advocating for victims' rights.

For more information contact victimsvoice@mennonitecc.ca.

  • Providing educational resources that promote peace
  • Building a network of people committed to peace
  • Mobilizing people to advocate for peace and justice

If you think war, violence, greed and environmental devastation are inevitable, think again. There are alternatives if we work at them together. Join the peaceful revolution and help build a culture of peace. Start revolting now!

 

 

 

Conscientious objection – the resistance to participation in war and military service – lies close to the heart of Mennonite Central Committee. As an organization of the Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches, MCC regards the gospel of peace as central to the Christian faith.
