The theology of peacemaking, as defined by the Presbyterian Mission Agency Peacemaking Program, informs us that this emphasis is central to our faith, holistic in nature and connected with justice. This grant views peacemaking activities as those which:

Restore relationships in a broken world.
Eliminate behavior that is harmful to the image of God in humanity and the handprint of God in creation.
Model the harmony and wholeness of God.

Peacemaking activity relating to the following regional issues will be considered for grants at this time: stewardship of the environment, gun violence, refugee and immigrant issues, racism/white privilege, human trafficking, drug use/addiction and poverty.
