Pledge for Peace

I pledge:

To respect myself and others;
To communicate honestly and positively;
To listen carefully to one another, especially to those with whom I disagree;
To forgive others and to apologise and make amends when I hurt another;
To respect God’s creation and treat the environment and all living things
with respect and care;
To pursue healthy activities and entertainment which promote a more
joyful and less violent society;
To act courageously and to challenge violence in all its forms whenever
I encounter it,
And to stand with others who are treated unfairly, even if it means
standing alone.

This is my pledge:

To support one another in the household of faith,
To live like saints,
To cultivate God’s peace.

In the name of Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
