such as opposition to military action
(individual letters from many members of the congregation
or letters from the congregation as a whole)

non-registration or C.O. status for draft-age youth
- Public statements on peace and justice issues
- Participation and leadership in community peacemaking events
- Support and encouragement for members who participate in nonviolent protest
and civil disobedience on issues of peace and justice.
