The Emerging Consensus
If Catholics and Mennonites can agree
on a common statement regarding peace
we have reached a new stage
in the Christian Churches’
approach to peace.
![Page 45: If War Is Wrong, What Is Right?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103019/55ba9dd1bb61eb73718b4610/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The Emerging Consensus
• Neither the Just War Doctrine nor classical
pacifism
is any longer being advocated.
![Page 46: If War Is Wrong, What Is Right?](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103019/55ba9dd1bb61eb73718b4610/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Emerging Consensus
• Neither the Just War Doctrine nor classical
pacifism
is any longer being advocated.
• A third way, still not clearly defined or named, is
emerging across the global Christian community.

The Emerging Consensus
• Neither the Just War Doctrine nor classical
pacifism
is any longer being advocated.
• A third way, still not clearly defined or named, is
emerging across the global Christian community.
• The new way involves direct involvement in
political affairs, although the way in which this
involvement will occur is not yet clear.
