  • Faith Voices Letter
    In Support Of Keeping Houses Of Worship Nonpartisan August 16, 2017 Dear Senator: As a leader in my religious community, I am strongly opposed to any effort to repeal or weaken current law that protects houses of worship from becoming centers of partisan politics. Changing the law would threaten the integrity and independence of houses of worship. We must not allow our sacred spaces to be transformed into spaces used to endorse or oppose political candidates. Faith leaders are called to speak truth to power, and we cannot do so if we are merely cogs in partisan political machines. The prophetic role of faith communities necessitates that we retain our independent voice. Current law respects this independence and strikes the right balance: houses of worship that enjoy favored tax-exempt status may engage in advocacy to address moral and political issues, but they cannot tell people who to vote for or against. Nothing in current law, however, prohibits me from endorsing or opposing political candidates in my own personal capacity. Changing the law to repeal or weaken the “Johnson Amendment” – the section of the tax code that prevents tax-exempt nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing candidates – would harm houses of worship, which are not identified or divided by partisan lines. Particularly in today’s political climate, engaging in partisan politics and issuing endorsements would be highly divisive and have a detrimental impact on congregational unity and civil discourse. I therefore urge you to oppose any repeal or weakening of the Johnson Amendment, thereby protecting the independence and integrity of houses of worship and other religious organizations in the charitable sector.

This is my gift to you. ~ John 14:27 It is this peace of Christ, a divine gift, that motivates the Catholic peace movement. The movement takes its name, Pax Christi, Peace of Christ, from this faith basis. But this peace is understood as a gift that must be shared, a blessing that requires not only a struggle against war and violence, but also the building of just structures. In pursuing this agenda Pax Christi members are encouraged by the words: “Blessed are the peacemakers, they shall be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

  • Rome Conference on Nonviolence and Just Peace Valerie Flessati
    Justpeace No 309 August-September 2016 ISSNO287-7647 Rome Conference on Nonviolence and Just Peace How I wish every member of Pax Christi could have experienced this inspiring conference which took place in Rome from 11-13 April! Pat Gaffney, Chris Cole and I were fortunate to mix with 80 people from 35 countries, all keenly focussed on how to move our Church forward in its understanding of and commitment to nonviolence. A number of unusual features made this an exceptional event. First of all, it was co-sponsored by Pax Christi International AND the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, with the participation of Cardinal Turkson, other members of the Pontifical Council, and a message from Pope Francis. Next, it did not descend into the familiar ding-dong of pacifist- versus-just war debate. This was thanks to the planning group’s Participants at the Rome Conference choice of a process whereby four contributors gave short presentations, and then anyone could join the circle briefly to The Rome conference agreed on ‘An appeal to the Catholic advance the discussion, and return to their places. This gave Church to re-commit to the centrality of Gospel nonviolence’. us a rich fusion of approaches from pastoral and community workers, academics, and activists. Opinions varied about whether the ‘Just War’ theory should be We had all read five excellent preparatory papers, and the explicitly rejected, because some find that the criteria usefully intensity of the listening was impressive: everyone searching for expose the impossibility of any ‘just’ war. All agreed, though, wisdom from one other, especially from amazing participants that it is more often used to endorse rather than to prevent or who make a daily choice to live nonviolently in situations limit war.
