Around the world, thousands of grassroots movements are confronting
issues like destruction of the environment, economic depression,
human rights violations, religious fundamentalism, and war. This
book tells the courageous story of one such group. Organizing in
1939, Northern Baptists formed the Baptist Pacifist Fellowship as
part of the Fellowship of Reconciliation. Southern Baptists formed
a parallel body. Like today, it was a time when sources of hope
seemed hard to find. Discerning a need to support and connect
Baptist conscientious objectors in the United States, members faced
hostility in congregations and the nation. For the duration of the
Second World War, the Korean War, war in Vietnam and elsewhere,
Baptists sustained a witness for peace and justice. By 1984, threat
of nuclear weapons led to formation of a wider circle of resistance
to the culture of war. Subsequently, the Baptist Peace Fellowship
of North America has brought together Baptist peacemakers from
around North America and the world. However small in numbers or
reviled, members have been building a culture of peace through an
interracial and international community. This book is an invaluable
resource for those seeking a new world of forgiveness, respect for
human rights, nonviolence, and peace.
